get_gene_identifiers {TCGAretriever}

Retrieve All Gene Identifiers

Description

Obtain all valid gene identifiers, including ENTREZ gene identifiers and HUGO gene symbols. Genes are classified according to the gene type (*e.g.*, 'protein-coding', 'pseudogene', 'miRNA', ...). Note that miRNA and phosphoprotein genes are associated with a negative entrezGeneId.

Usage

get_gene_identifiers(dryrun = FALSE)

Arguments

dryrun

Logical. If TRUE, all other arguments (if any) are ignored and a representative example is returned as output. No Internet connection is required for executing the operation when 'dryrun' is TRUE.

Value

Data Frame including gene identifiers.
