Source: R/species_conversion.R
species_conversion.Rd

Complete species conversion framework enabling iTALK to work seamlessly with mouse, human, and other species data by mapping genes to orthologs using Ensembl BioMart.

Details

iTALK's ligand-receptor database uses human gene symbols (e.g., TGFB1, VEGFA). This module automatically detects input species and converts gene names to human orthologs for database matching, then optionally converts results back.
