getGene: getGene

In cummeRbund: Analysis, exploration, manipulation, and visualization of Cufflinks high-throughput sequencing data.

Description

Primary accessor from a CuffSet object to retrive all related information for 1 (one) given gene, indexed by gene_id or gene_short_name.

Usage

## S4 method for signature 'CuffSet'
getGene(object, geneId, sampleIdList=NULL)

Arguments

object	An object of class 'CuffSet' (Primary 'pointer' object for Cufflinks data).
geneId	A character string to identify which gene for which you would like to retrieve all information.
sampleIdList	A vector of sample names used to subset or re-order samples in returned object

Details

None.

Value

Returns a CuffGene object containing all related information for a given gene_id or gene_short_name

Note

Right now, this does not return an error if it cannot find a gene. (this is probably a bad thing...)

Examples

	a<-readCufflinks(system.file("extdata", package="cummeRbund")) #Read cufflinks data and create master CuffSet object
	myGene<-getGene(a,"PINK1") # Retrieve all information for gene "PINK1"
