symbol_annot {crossmeta} | R Documentation

## Add hgnc symbol to expression set.

### Description

Function first maps entrez gene ids to homologous human entrez gene ids and then to hgnc symbols.

### Usage

    symbol_annot(eset, gse_name = "")

### Arguments

`eset` | Expression set to annotate.
`gse_name` | GSE name for eset.

### Details

Initial entrez gene ids are obtained from bioconductor annotation data packages or from feature data of supplied expression set. Homologous human entrez ids are obtained from homologene and then mapped to hgnc symbols using org.Hs.eg.db. Expression set is expanded if 1:many mappings occur.

### Value

Expression set with hgnc symbols ("SYMBOL") and row names ("PROBE") added to fData slot.

### See Also

`load_raw`.

### Examples

    library(lydata)

    # location of raw data
    data_dir <- system.file("extdata", package = "lydata")

    # load eset
    eset <- load_raw("GSE9601", data_dir)[[1]]

    # annotate eset (need if load_raw failed to annotate)
    eset <- symbol_annot(eset)
