eGenes are genes that have at least one significant cis-eQTL acting upon them. Results can be filtered by tissue.

xQTLdownload_egene(
  tissueSiteDetail = "",
  gene = "",
  geneType = "auto",
  recordPerChunk = 2000
)

Arguments

tissueSiteDetail

(character) details of tissues in GTEx can be listed using tissueSiteDetailGTExv8 or tissueSiteDetailGTExv7

gene

(character) gene symbol or gencode id (versioned or unversioned are both supported).

geneType

(character) options: "auto","geneSymbol" or "gencodeId". Default: "auto".

recordPerChunk

(integer) number of records fetched per request (default: 2000).

Value

A data.table object.

Examples

# \donttest{
eGeneInfo <- xQTLdownload_egene(tissueSiteDetail="Prostate", gene="CICP3")
eGeneInfo <- xQTLdownload_egene(tissueSiteDetail="Prostate")
