Get a list of stably expressed genes — getStableGenes • singscore

Get a list of genes that are stably expressed in cancer and normal solid tissue.

getStableGenes(
  n_stable,
  type = c("carcinoma", "blood", "protein"),
  id = c("geneid", "ensembl")
)

Arguments

n_stable: numeric, number of stable genes to retrieve
type: character, type of stable genes requested, stable genes in "carcinoma" or stable genes in "blood"
id: character, gene identifier required. This can be either "geneid" for symbols or "ensembl" ensembl id)

Value

a character vector with gene IDs sorted by their expected expression levels in the requested tissue

Examples

getStableGenes(5)
#> [1] "RBM45"  "BRAP"   "CIAO1"  "TARDBP" "HNRNPK"
getStableGenes(5, id = 'ensembl')
#> [1] "ENSG00000155636" "ENSG00000089234" "ENSG00000144021" "ENSG00000120948"
#> [5] "ENSG00000165119"
getStableGenes(5, type = 'blood')
#> [1] "RBM45"  "BRAP"   "GOSR1"  "IWS1"   "HNRNPK"
