[BioC] GO annotation

[Srinivasan, Sathish K]

Hi Marc,
Could you suggest a go-to literature reference on annotating genomic data using bioconductor packages, probably a book or any of its kind. Thanks

Hi Lim,

First of all it all depends on what you have for gene identifiers.  If you are like most people you will have entrez gene IDs.  So for now I will assume you have those.

## So lets further assume you are working with humans and just choose the 1st two entrez gene IDs so that we can make a (hopefully meaningful) example ids = c("1","2") ## now load the org library for humans
library(org.Hs.eg.db)
## then you can call select to extract your GO IDs like this:
select(org.Hs.eg.db, keys = ids, cols = "GO", keytype = "ENTREZID")

Now one thing to notice is that if you have some other kind of identifier, then your keytype argument will have to be set to a different value.  And hopefully, the kind of ID you are using, is present in the package that you have to search...  See the manual page for select for more information.

?select

 From your question, I also recognize that you may not be able to do this because it sounds like you might be using a more unusual organism and not be using something commonplace like human.  Well don't give up just yet, because we may be able to help you there too.  You can look at the manual page for the function makeOrgPackageFromNCBI to learn how you can try to generate an org package from just the taxonomy ID (which you can look up on NCBIs website).  If the data is available at NCBI, then you should be able to generate a package from NCBI that will match your organism of choice.

?makeOrgPackageFromNCBI


Does that answer your question?
