Retries gene annotation information from Ensembl.

Usage

getGene(id, type = "ensembl_gene_id", ...)

Arguments

id: vector of gene identifiers one wants to annotate
type: type of identifier, possible values can be obtained by the listFilters function. Examples are entrezgene_id, hgnc_symbol (for hugo gene symbol), ensembl_gene_id, unigene, agilentprobe, affy_hg_u133_plus_2, refseq_dna, etc.
...: Ignored. Used to catch no longer necessary parameters such as mart from biomaRt functions.

Examples

remart::getGene(
  "ENSG00000157764",
  type = "ensembl_gene_id"
