xmapDatabase {exonmap}R Documentation

Switching between databases

Description

Switches to use either the mouse or human genomic X:MAP databases

Usage

  xmapDatabase(db=c("Human", "Mouse","Rat"))
  showXmapDatabase()
  xmapExtras(db)

Arguments

db Choose either the human or mouse database.

Details

Reads the ncessary parameters to establish a connection to the X:MAP database from a configuration file. Details of these files, their location and their syntax can be found in the installation instructions accompanying the package. Current database settings may be viewed with showXmapDatabase.

This function has to be called before running any of the database-related functions of exonmap.

xmapExtras, called after xmapDatabase adds the EST database (other features). It has to be run before using any functions related to ESTs. ESTs require the other features database to be installed. When called with no parameters, the function guesses the name of the other features database.
