gorth

Orthology search.

Description

Interface to the g:Profiler tool g:Orth (https://biit.cs.ut.ee/gprofiler/orth) that, given a target organism, retrieves the genes of the target organism that are similar in sequence to the source organism genes in the input.

Usage

gorth(
  query,
  source_organism = "hsapiens",
  target_organism = "mmusculus",
  numeric_ns = "",
  mthreshold = Inf,
  filter_na = TRUE
)

Arguments

`query`	character vector of gene IDs to be translated.
`source_organism`	name of the source organism. Organism names are constructed by concatenating the first letter of the name and the family name. Example: human - 'hsapiens', mouse - 'mmusculus'.
`target_organism`	name of the target organism. Organism names are constructed by concatenating the first letter of the name and the family name. Example: human - 'hsapiens', mouse - 'mmusculus'.
`numeric_ns`	namespace to use for fully numeric IDs (list of available namespaces).
`mthreshold`	maximum number of ortholog names per gene to show.
`filter_na`	logical indicating whether to filter out results without a corresponding target name.

Value

The output is a data.frame which is a table closely corresponding to the web interface output.

The result fields are further described in the vignette.
