makeGene {GenomeGraphs} | R Documentation

## Creates an object of class Gene

### Description

Creates an object of class Gene. This represents a gene structure as annotated in Ensembl.

### Usage

    makeGene(id, type, biomart, dp = NULL)

### Arguments

`id` | An identifier used to specify of which gene the intron-exon structure should be retrieved
`type` | The type of identifiers used, examples are ensembl_gene_id, hgnc_symbol,entrezgene. See listAttributes function of the biomaRt package for more info
`biomart` | Mart object, created by the useMart function of biomaRt
`dp` | object of class DisplayPars, determines the display of features on the plot

### Value

An object of class Gene

        if (missing(id))
            stop("Need to specify a gene identifier for creating a Gene")
        pt <- getClass("Gene")@prototype
        if (is.null(dp))
            dp <- pt@dp
        if (missing(type))
            type = pt@type
        new("Gene", id = id, type = type, biomart = biomart, dp = dp)
      }
