This function takes a gene ENSEMBL id (e.g.ENSG00000169174) or a gene name (e.g.PCSK9) and returns a table containing details about input genes , such as genomic location, gene structure and its BioType.

Usage

geneInfo(gene)

Arguments

gene

Character: an ENSEMBL gene identifier (e.g.ENSG00000169174) or gene name (e.g. PCSK9).

Value

Returns a data frame (tibble format) with the following data structure:

  1. id

  2. symbol

  3. bioType

  4. description

  5. chromosome

  6. tss

  7. start

  8. end

  9. fwdStrand

  10. exons

Examples

if (FALSE) { # \dontrun{
result <- geneInfo(gene="ENSG00000169174")
result <- geneInfo(gene="PCSK9")
} # }
