DEFUNCT Functions that find the homology data for a given set of LocusLink ids or HomoloGeneIDs

Description

These functions are DEFUNCT. All this functionality has been replaced by inPARANOID packages. Given a set of LocusLink ids or NCBI HomoloGeneIDs, the functions obtain the homology data and represent them as a list of sub-lists using the homology data package for the organism of interest. A sub-list can be of length 1 or greater depending on whether a LocusLink id can be mapped to one or more HomoloGeneIDs.

Usage

LL2homology(homoPkg, llids)
HGID2homology(hgid, homoPkg)
ACC2homology(accs, homoPkg)

Arguments

llids	llids a vector of character strings or numberic numbers for a set of LocusLink ids whose homologous genes in other organisms are to be found
hgid	hgid a named vector of character strings or numberic numbers for a set of HomoloGeneIDs whose homologous genes in other organisms are to be found. Names of the vector give the code used by NCBI for organisms
accs	accs a vector of character strings for a set of GenBank Accession numbers
homoPkg	homoPkg a character string for the name of the homology data package for a given organism, which is a short version of the scientific name of the organism plus homology (e. g. hsahomology)

Details

The homology data package has to be installed before executing any of the two functions.

Each sub-list has the following elements:

homoOrg - a named vector of a single character string whose value is the scientific name of the organism and name the numeric code used by NCBI for the organism.

homoLL - an integer for LocusLink id.

homoHGID - an integer for internal HomoloGeneID.

homoACC - a character string for GenBank accession number of the best matching sequence of the organism.

homoType - a single letter for the type of similarity measurement between the homologous genes. homoType can be either B (reciprocal best best between three or more organisms), b (reciprocal best match between two organisms), or c (curated homology relationship between two organisms).

homoPS - a percentage value measured as the percent of identity of base pair alignment between the homologous sequences.

homoURL - a url to the source if the homology relationship is a curated orthology.

Sub-lists with homoType = B or b will not have any value for homoURL and objects with homoType = c will not have any value for homoPS.

Value

Both functions returns a list of sub-lists containing data for homologous genes in other organisms.
