get.genes.by.organism {KEGGSOAP} | R Documentation |
Given a KEGG organism id, the function searches the KEGG GENES database for all the genes of the organism
get.genes.by.organism(org, start, max.results)
org |
org a character string for the id used by KEGG for
organisms. The organism ids are normally three-letter codes with the
first letter being the first letter of the genus name and the rest
being the first two letters of the species name of the scientic name
of the organism of concern |
start |
start an integer to indicate the location of the
entry in the query results from which the results will be
extracted and returned |
max.results |
max.results an integer to indicate the
maximum number of entries that will be extracted from the query
results and returned |
The gene ids returned by the query normally consist of three letters followed by a colon and then numbers or a combination of letters and numbers. The three letters are from the first letter of the genus name and the first two letters of the species name of the scientific name of the organism of concern (e. g. hsa:111 for Homo Sapiens)
The function returns a vector of character strings of ids used by KEGG to represent genes
