Hello everyone,
Ill be blunt: I want to make multiple queries with the getGene funciton
of biomaRt, but having some trouble (this is probably my lack of
knowledge in programming)
first I make an object containing 3 entrez gene ID's.
test=c("4205","9185","4791")
if i then
library(biomaRt)
mart <- martConnect( biomarts = c("ensembl","vega"))
g= getGene( id = test[1], type = "entrezgene", species = "hsapiens", db
= "ensembl", mart = mart)
g
This workes. But I want to make a "for loop", so that getGene retrieves
all my 3 id's in one go.. ive tried several "for loops", but I think I
have trouble handeling the returning martTable-class.
So my question is:
Have anyone else managed to build a "for loop" of getGene, and is it
doable with the returning martTable-class ?
best
morten
