get_db_annotation: orgdb annotations

In MoseleyBioinformaticsLab/categoryCompare2: Meta-Analysis of High-Throughput Experiments Using Feature Annotations

orgdb annotations

Description

Generate an annotation object for genes based on an "org.*.db" object, and pulling information from it.

Usage

get_db_annotation(
  orgdb = "org.Hs.eg.db",
  features = NULL,
  feature_type = "ENTREZID",
  annotation_type = "GO"
)

Arguments

orgdb	the name of the org.*.db object
features	which features to get annotations for
feature_type	which type of IDs to map (see details)
annotation_type	the type of annotation to grab (see details)

Details

This function generates a categoryCompare2 annotation object from a Bioconductor "org.*.db" object. Even though different gene identifiers can be used, almost all of the mappings are via ENTREZID.

The set of feature or gene keys that can be used to create the annotations include:

• ENTREZID: ENTREZ gene ids

• ACCNUM: genbank accession numbers

• SYMBOL: gene symbols, eg ABCA1

• GENENAME: gene names, eg "ATP binding cassette subfamily A member 1"

• ENSEMBL: the ensembl gene ids (all start with ENSG...)

• ENSEMBLPROT: ensembl protein ids (ENSP...)

• ENSEMBLTRANS: ensemlb transcript ids (ENST...)

• REFSEQ: reference sequence IDs, NM, NP, NR, XP, etc

• UNIGENE: gene ids from UNIPROT eg Hs.88556

• UNIPROT: protein ids from UNIPROT eg P80404

The set of annotations that can be mapped to features include:

• GO: annotations from gene ontology

• PATH: KEGG Pathway identifiers (not updated since 2011!)

• CHRLOC: location on the chromosome

• OMIM: mendelian inheritance in man identifiers

• PMID: pubmed identifiers

• PROSITE

• PFAM: protein family identifiers

• IPI: protein-protein interactions

For GO annotations, it is also possible to pass GO to use all 3 sub-ontologies simultaneously, or any combination of BP, MF, and CC.

Value

annotation object
