filterSummary {biomaRt}R Documentation

Description

Filters in BioMart databases are grouped together in filter groups and filter groups can in their turn form a higher collection in an filter category. The filterSummary function gives a summary of the filter categories and groups present in the BioMart. These group and category names can be used to display only a subset of the available filters in the listFilters function.

Usage

filterSummary(mart)

Arguments

mart object of class Mart, containing connections to the BioMart database. You have to create such an object using the function useMart and update this Mart object by selecting a dataset.
