getGeneId {cummeRbund} | R Documentation |
A helper function to retrieve the gene_ids for a given list of feature ids (e.g. isoform_ids, tss_group_ids, or CDS_ids). This should not be called directly by the user
## S4 method for signature 'CuffSet' getGeneId(object, idList)
object |
An object of class 'CuffSet' (Primary 'pointer' object for Cufflinks data). |
idList |
A character string to identify the identifiers for which you would like to retrieve corresponding gene_id values. |
None.
Returns a vector of gene_id values corresponding to genes from which idList are sub-features.
Right now, this does not return an error if it cannot find a gene. (this is probably a bad thing...)

None.
