Create an Expression Profile Building Block

Creates an expression profile building block in MoBi for a given molecule, species, and category. The expression profile is created with default parameter values, which can be modified using setExpressionProfileParameters(). Important: The expression profile is not queried from the expression database.

Usage

createExpressionProfileBuildingBlock(
  type,
  moleculeName,
  speciesName,
  phenotype = "Healthy"
)

Arguments

type

String. Type of the protein the profile will be created for. Must be one of the values defined in the ExpressionProfileCategories enum.

moleculeName

Name of the protein molecule.

speciesName

Name of the species. Must be one of the values defined in the Species enum.

phenotype

Phenotype of the expression profile. Defaults to "Healthy". Used for naming only; it has no other implication.

Value

A BuildingBlock object representing the created expression profile.

Details

Disease states are currently not supported.

Examples

expressionProfile <- createExpressionProfileBuildingBlock(
  type = ExpressionProfileCategories$`Metabolizing Enzyme`,
  moleculeName = "CYP3A4",
  speciesName = "Human"
)
