resourcerer2BioC {Resourcerer} | R Documentation |
TIGR Resourcerer maintains various annotation files for Affymetrix or cDNA chips. This function allows users to create a bioC annotation data package for the probes contained in the Resourcerer annotation file.
resourcerer2BioC(which, organism = c("human", "mouse", "rat"), destDir = file.path(.path.package("Resourcerer"), "temp"), pkgName, pkgPath, baseMapType = c("gbNRef", "gb", "ug", "ll"), version = "1.1.0", baseUrl = "ftp://occams.dfci.harvard.edu/pub/bio/tgi/data/Resourcerer", check = FALSE, author = list(authors = "Anonymous", maintainer = "Anonymous <anonymous@email.com>"), exten = "zip")
which |
which a character string indicating which
Resourcerer annotation file to be read in |
destDir |
destDir a character string for the path of a
directory where the downloaded file will be stored. If missing, the
temp directory will be the default |
baseUrl |
baseUrl a character string for the url of
Resourcerer ftp site where directories containing annotation files
for human, rat, mouse ... are stored |
baseMapType |
baseMapType a character string that is
either "gb","ug", or "ll" to indicate whether the probe ids in
baseName are mapped to GenBack accession numbers, UniGene ids, or
LocusLink ids |
pkgName |
pkgName a character string for the name of the
data package to be built (e. g. hgu95a, rgu34a) |
pkgPath |
pkgPath a character string for the full path of
an existing directory where the built backage will be stored |
organism |
organism a character string for the name of the
organism of concern (now can only be "human", "mouse", or "rat") |
version |
version a character string for the version number |
author |
author a list of character strings with an author
element for the name of the author and maintainer element for the
email address of the author |
check |
check a boolean incicating whether to check the
mappings between probe ids and LocusLink ids obtained from Resourcer
and bioC AnnBuilder when baseMapType is 'll' |
exten |
exten a character string for the extension
(e. g. zip) of the source data file to be processed |
baseUrl
is the root directory of TIGR ftp site for Resourcerer
that contains subdirectories holding data for different organism.
Function resourcerer2BioC returns invisible() if successfully executed.
This function is part of the Bioconductor project at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute to provide Bioinformatics functionalities through R
