getHomologene

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

This function downloads the latest homologene file from NCBI. Note that Homologene
has not been updated since 2014 so the output will be identical to <code><a rd-options="" href="/link/homologeneData?package=homologene&version=1.4.68.19.3.27" data-mini-rdoc="homologene::homologeneData">homologeneData</a></code>
included in this package. This function is here for futureproofing purposes.

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.
