Look up many genes in one request — mygene

The batch POST, which is the reason this client is worth installing. An N-symbol list is one round trip rather than N, and the round trip is where essentially all the time goes.

Usage

mygene_genes(symbols, species = "human", ...)

Arguments

symbols: Gene symbols, Ensembl gene ids, or Entrez ids.
species: Passed through to MyGene.
...: Passed to biohttp::post_json().

Value

A biohttp envelope whose data is a tibble with one row per entry in symbols, in the same order.

Examples

if (FALSE) { # \dontrun{
res <- mygene_genes(c("TP53", "BRCA1", "EGFR"))
biohttp::body_or_null(res)
} # }
