Apologies, if this is a naive question, but I've been trying to use
biomaRt
to retrieve all genes with kinase activity.
I use the GO term GO:0016301 as follows:
ensembl = useMart("ensembl", dataset = "hsapiens_gene_ensembl")
results <- getBM(c("entrezgene", "hgnc_symbol", "unigene"), filters =
"go",
values = "GO:0016301" , mart=ensembl)
This pulls the usual results, e.g. like EGFR.
However, it doesn't retrieve results for genes like ATM, which in Gene
Ontology, is listed as a child of the GO term
http://amigo.geneontology.org/cgi-bin/amigo/term-assoc.cgi?gptype=all&
speciesdb=all&taxid=9606&evcode=all&term_assocs=all&term=GO%3A0016301&
session_id=7978amigo1229194926&action=filter
I would have thought that this query would retrieve genes listed with
that
GO term and the associated children of the GO term.
On a follow up note, is there a filter by which I can just search
"kinase"
with biomaRt?
Many thanks,
Andrew
