Get all ancestor GO terms

Given a data.frame with with a column containing GO terms, this function will output a data.frame with with the ontologies of those GO terms, their description, and all their ancestor terms.

get_ancestor_go(
  go_df,
  feature_col = "UNIPROTKB",
  go_col = "GO.ID",
  return_early_debug = FALSE,
  verbose = TRUE
)

Arguments

go_df

data.frame. Contains all initial GO terms for proteins of interest with columns == [feature_col, go_col].

feature_col

string. Name of the column with the features, e.g. "UNIPROTKB".

go_col

string. Name of the column with the GO ids, e.g. "GO.ID".

return_early_debug

logical. Stop function early and return a list of GO terms and ancestor GO terms for debugging purposes.

verbose

logical.

Value

Returns a data.frame containing all ancestor GO terms for all proteins plus GO term descriptions and ontologies.
