geneLocs {GGtools} | R Documentation |
gene metadata from NCBI
data(geneLocs) data(geneLocs_hsa) data(geneLocs_mmu)
A data.frame
instance with information relating
gene symbol to chromosome and providing start and end positional
information.
instance of class data.frame
The geneLocs structure should be available for multiple species. Thus the three letter code suffix will be present on the standard offering in the future.
There is absolutely no guarantee that the information in these structures is at all accurate. The provenance subdirectory of the package includes notes on how the files were derived. The package author finds it difficult to obtain clear information on the state of the art on gene location assertions; suggestions of more accurate sources are welcome.
