Example Gene Annotation Data File
Description
This dataset contains example annotation data for 417 selected genes (matching the gene set in the example gene expression dataset). The data was retrieved from the Ensembl BioMart database using the get.ensembl.annotation
function with "Human-GRCh38" as the genome assembly (hg38).
Usage
hg38_gene_annotation
Format
hg38_gene_annotation
A data frame with 417 rows and 9 columns:
- gene
Ensembl gene ID.
- chrom
Chromosome on which the gene is located.
- loc.start
Gene start position (in base pairs).
- loc.end
Gene end position (in base pairs).
- description
Description of the gene.
- gene.name
Gene symbol.
- biotype
Gene biotype, including categories such as protein-coding, long noncoding RNA (lncRNA), microRNA (miRNA), small nuclear RNA (snRNA), small nucleolar RNA (snoRNA), immunoglobulin (IG), T-cell receptor (TCR), and pseudogene.
- chrom.strand
Strand on which the gene is located: forward (1) or reverse (-1).
- chrom.band
Chromosomal cytoband where the gene is located.
Source
Retrieved from the Ensembl BioMart database using the get.ensembl.annotation
function with the "Human-GRCh38" genome assembly (hg38). Then a subset of 417 out of around 62,000 genes was selected for the example dataset.
