## Get Probes by Gene

### Description

Get probes mapped to a gene. All transcripts for the gene are considered. The function takes a gene name as appears in UCSC RefGene database. The platform and reference genome build can be changed with 'platform' and 'refversion' options. The function returns a vector of probes that falls into the given gene.

### Usage

    getProbesByGene(
      geneName,
      platform = c("EPIC", "HM450"),
      upstream = 0,
      dwstream = 0,
      refversion = c("hg38", "hg19")
    )

### Arguments

`geneName` | gene name
`platform` | EPIC or HM450
`upstream` | number of bases to expand upstream of target gene
`dwstream` | number of bases to expand downstream of target gene
`refversion` | hg38 or hg19

### Value

probes that fall into the given gene

### Examples

    probes <- getProbesByGene('CDKN2A', upstream=500, dwstream=500)
