The package, disgenet2r can be installed using devtools from this repository:

library(devtools)
install_bitbucket("ibi_group/disgenet2r")

Obtaining the API key

Before using the package, you will need to create a free DisGeNET account at http://disgenet.org/signup. Once you have completed the registration process, use the get_disgenet_api_key function to retrieve your API key.

library(disgenet2r)
disgenet_api_key <- get_disgenet_api_key(
                  email = "user@gmail.com", 
                  password = "myspwd" )

After retrieving the API key, run the line below so the key is available for all the disgenet2r functions.

Sys.setenv(DISGENET_API_KEY= disgenet_api_key)

Querying DisGeNET:

The following lines show two examples of how DisGeNET can be queried using disgenet2r:

  • Gene Query
library(disgenet2r)
gq <- gene2disease(gene = 3953, 
 vocabulary = "ENTREZ",
    database = "ALL", 
    score = c( 0.1,1)
)
  • Disease Query
library(disgenet2r)
dq <- disease2gene(disease = "C0028754",
