getGeneInfo

Path of the output file. If NULL a temp file will be used

destfile

If TRUE and destfile exists, it reads the file instead of 
downloading the latest one from NCBI

justRead

Chunk size to be used with <code>link[readr]{read_tsv_chunked}</code>.
The gene_info file is big enough to make its intake difficult. If you don't
have large amounts of free memory you may have to reduce this number to read
the file in smaller chunks

chunk_size

This function downloads the gene_info file from NCBI website and returns the
gene symbols for current IDs.

A wrapper for the homologene database by the National Center for
Biotechnology Information ('NCBI'). It allows searching for gene homologs across
species. Data in this package can be found at <ftp://ftp.ncbi.nih.gov/pub/HomoloGene/build68/>.
The package also includes an updated version of the homologene database where
gene identifiers and symbols are replaced with their latest (at the time of
submission) version and functions to fetch latest annotation data to keep updated.

getGeneInfo: Download gene symbol information
