ungeneanno-package: Collate Gene Annotation Data from Uniprot and NIH Gene Databases

Description

Taking groups of genes, the package collates together the summary information about those genes from the publicly available resources at Uniprot and NCBI. This is achieved through the getUniqueGeneList, getGeneSummary, getGroupGeneList and produceOutputFiles functions. Additionally, the package is able to collate publication information from a search of the NCBI Pubmed database via the getPublicationList function.

Details

A 2 column matrix, containing a column of 'group' identifers and a column of gene names, is required as input. Unique lists of both group identifiers and gene names are created and the data from the NCBI gene and Uniprot databases is downloaded. A vector of vectors is used to recreate the relationships between the group identifers and gene names, which is then used to create output files detailing the downloaded information for the genes in each group.

Examples

## Not run: 
# ## Create geneanno object and set save directory
# ga <- geneanno()
# ga@fileroot <- "~/Desktop"
# 
# ## Parse input gene names and group identifiers into unique lists
# data("genematrix")
# ga <- getUniqueGeneList(ga,genematrix)
# 
# ## Query databases and Parse responses
# gs <- getGeneSummary(ga)
# 
# ## Create vector of vectors containing gene names for each group identifier
# dgl <- getGroupGeneList(ga,genematrix)
# 
# ## Collate data into out files
# produceOutputFiles(ga, dgl, gs)
# 
# ## Query PubMed database
# query <- "Thompson IR HIV"
# ReturnedPublications <- getPublicationList(query)
# 
# ## List PubMedIDs from PubMed query
# for (i in 1:length(ReturnedPublications)){
#   print(ReturnedPublications[[i]]@Id)
#   }
# ## End(Not run)
