Based on the human cell cycle genes, the cell cycle genes of the corresponding species were captured by homologous gene conversion.

Usage

CycGenePrefetch(
  species = "Homo_sapiens",
  Ensembl_version = NULL,
  mirror = NULL,
  max_tries = 5,
  use_cached_gene = TRUE,
  verbose = TRUE
)

Arguments

species

Latin names for animals, i.e., "Homo_sapiens", "Mus_musculus"

Ensembl_version

Ensembl database version. If NULL, use the current release version.

mirror

Specify an Ensembl mirror to connect to. The valid options here are "www", "uswest", "useast", "asia".

max_tries

The maximum number of attempts to connect with the BioMart service.

use_cached_gene

Whether to use previously cached cell cycle gene conversion results for the species. Default is TRUE.

verbose

Whether to print the message. Default is TRUE.

Value

A list of S-phase and G2M-phase genes.
