In RGLab/HIPCMatrix: Microarray and RNA-seq Processing for ImmuneSpace

Create Gene Alias Map

Description

This will download the current gene-alias mapping info from the HUGO gene nomenclature committee and create a mapping from all recorded gene aliases to official gene symbols.

Usage

create_gene_alias_map()

Details

Some aliases map to multiple gene symbols. There are a couple of different cases, which are dealt with differently:

1. A gene alias maps to multiple gene symbols including itself: Remove mappings to other symbols.

2. A gene alias maps to multiple gene symbols not including itself: Remove this alias.

Value

data.table with four columns:

SYMBOL

"official" gene symbol

ALIAS

Aliases for the official gene symbol. Each entry in this column should be unique

HGNC

HGNC ID

ENTREZ

Entrez ID
