| Title: | Easily Downloads a Gene Expression Dataset from a GEO Code and Retrieves the Gene Symbols of Its Probesets |
|---|---|
| Description: | A function that reads in the GEO code of a gene expression dataset, retrieves its data from GEO, (optionally) retrieves the gene symbols of the dataset, and returns a simple dataframe table containing all the data. Platforms available: GPL11532, GPL23126, GPL6244, GPL8300, GPL80, GPL96, GPL570, GPL571, GPL20115, GPL1293, GPL6102, GPL6104, GPL6883, GPL6884, GPL13497, GPL14550, GPL17077, GPL6480. GEO: Gene Expression Omnibus. ID: identifier code. The GEO datasets are downloaded from the URL <https://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/geo/series/>.
