Convert Gene IDs to Ensembl — convert

Queries the database to map user-provided gene identifiers to Ensembl IDs.

Usage

convert_id(genes, data = NULL, species_id, max_sample_ids = 100)

genes: A vector or character string of gene identifiers to convert.
data: Optional data frame or matrix. If provided, the function attempts to match genes to the row names or a column in data and merges the conversion results with the original data.
species_id: Numeric. The ID of the species for the database connection.
max_sample_ids: Integer. The maximum number of gene IDs to use when guessing the ID type (optimization parameter). Defaults to 100.

A data frame.

If data is NULL: Returns a mapping table with original IDs and Ensembl IDs.
If data is provided: Returns data merged with the Ensembl IDs. Returns NULL if species_id is missing or no matches are found.
