rba_string_homology_intra

Get Similarity Scores Hits of Proteins in a Species


Description

Using this function, you can retrieve the Smith-Waterman bit scores among proteins of the same species. Bit Scores serve as similarity scores between protein sequence; And, according to STRING documentations, as a proxy for protein homology.

Usage

rba_string_homology_intra(ids, species = NA, ...)

Arguments

ids

Your protein ID(s). It is strongly recommended to provide STRING IDs. See rba_string_map_ids for more information.

species

Numeric: NCBI Taxonomy identifier; Human Taxonomy ID is 9606. (Recommended, but optional if your input is less than 100 IDs.)

...

rbioapi option(s). Refer to rba_options's arguments documentation for more information on available options.

Details

Note that this function will retrieve similarity scores of different proteins "within the same species". To Get a similarity scores of a given protein and it's closets homologous proteins in other species, refer to rba_string_homology_inter.
Similarity matrix is imported -by STRING- from: Similarity Matrix of Proteins (SIMAP)

Value

A data frame with bit scores between your provided proteins and their self-hit. To Reduce the transferred data, STRING returns only one half of the similarity matrix; This will not pose a problem because similarity matrix is symmetrical.
