geneSetsFromFile {MIGSA} | R Documentation

## Creates a GeneSetCollection object from a file

### Description

`geneSetsFromFile` creates a GeneSetCollection object from the data present in a file. The file must be a tab separated values file (tsv). Each line will parse to a GeneSet. First field will be the GeneSet setName, the second the setIdentifier and the remaining are the genes.

### Usage

    geneSetsFromFile(filePath, ...)

    ## S4 method for signature 'character'
    geneSetsFromFile(filePath, is_GO = FALSE)

### Arguments

`filePath` | character with the path of the file to parse.
`...` | not in use.
`is_GO` | logical indicating if this gene sets are from the Gene Ontology. If true, then each gene GeneSet setName must be a GO id.

### Value

A GeneSetCollection object.

### Examples

    ## Create some fake gene sets in a data.frame to save them in disk and then
    ## load them (10 gene sets with 20 genes each (it is not neccesary that they
    ## have the same number of genes).
    gsets <- data.frame(
      IDs = paste("set", 1:10),
      Names = rep("", 10),
      matrix(paste("gene", 1:(10 * 20)), nrow = 10)
    )
    ## And save this file as a tab separated file.
    geneSetsFile <- paste(tempdir(), "/fakeGsets.tsv", sep = "")
    write.table(gsets,
      file = geneSetsFile, sep = "\t",
      col.names = FALSE, row.names = FALSE, quote = FALSE
    )
    ## Now lets load this tsv file as a GeneSetCollection object.
    myGsets <- geneSetsFromFile(geneSetsFile)
    ## And lets delete this tsv file (so we dont have garbage in our disk).
    unlink(geneSetsFile)
