Hello! I am trying to get specific fields from an XML document and I am totally puzzled. I hope someone can help me. # URL URL<-"http://eutils.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/efetch.fcgi?db=pubmed&id=11877539,11822933,11871444&retmode=xml&rettype=citation" # download a XML file tmp <- xmlTreeParse(URL, isURL = TRUE) tmp <- xmlRoot(tmp) Now I want to extract only

I would like to track in which journals articles about a particular disease are being published. Creating a pubmed search is trivial. The search provides data but obviously not as an R dataframe. I can get the search to export the data as an xml feed and the xml package seems to be able to read it. xmlTreeParse("

Hi: I am trying to search PubMed abstracts which contains BOTH two terms: COL4A1 AND Ocular. I am using the following code: url= "http://eutils.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/esearch.fcgi?" search = paste(url, "db=pubmed&term=COL4A1+AND+Ocular[abstract]&retmax=300", sep="") docId <- xmlTreeParse(getURL(paste(url, search, sep="")),

Hi dear Rers, I am using SSOAP package to access SOAP service at NCBI. I followed the example code in SSOAP but failed. > z <- .SOAP("http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/soap/soap_adapter.cgi", method="run_eInfo", db="pubmed", action = I("einfo")) Error: protect(): protection stack overflow what's wrong? Thanks very much. Regards

Hi, I'm trying to calculate p-value to findout definitely expressed genes compare A to B situation. I got this data(this is a part of data) from whole organism , and each number means each expression values (that means, we could think 'a' gene is 13 in A situation, and it turns 30 in B situation) To findout probability, I'm going to use Audic - Claverie Method. ( The significance

Hi, I want to use reutils to obtain the accession numbers of a query search in character format. When I use efetch, the accession number isn't in a character format, and I'm not sure if the number is accurate, because I get the error: Error in file.exists(destfile) : object 'destfile' not found This is what I tried: UIDs<-esearch( "Methylation" ) accession_numbers

for the script, please kindly see the script below. At line 10 and line 13, my problems occurs. The first one is I try to retrieve the gene official name from a column of a table. The pattern of official name is something starting with gene_name. For detail problems, please see the according lines. Any suggestions are appreciated example of matching source (extract the Nnat, sometime it would

R Users - I asked about this a few months ago and never did quite figure it out, so with more information, allow me to try again. If I use the following code: library(xml) xmlTreeParse("http://home.comcast.net/~larsenmtl/xmlTestDoc.xml", isURL = TRUE) I receive this error: Error in xmlTreeParse("http://home.comcast.net/~larsenmtl/xmlTestDoc.xml"", : error in

Can't seem to get the code below working. It gets stuck on line 24 inside the function hm; comments show the line in question. The function hm is called by sapply and is at the bottom of the code. Other stuff above line 24 works correctly including the first couple of lines of the function hm. Should I be using a different apply function or am I doing something wrong with xmlTreeParse ?

Hi, I found an architecture-specific segfault problem with the XML package. I originally found the problem using the parseKGML2Graph function in the Bioconductor KEGGgraph package, but as far as I can tell the underlying issue seems to be with the xmlTreeParse which is called by parseKGML2Graph. I'm trying this piece of code, from the xmlTreeParse help page: library(XML) fileName <-

I have used merge regularly and thought I understood how it worked, but I must not. I have two dataframes with identical colnames from two different experiments, TL01 and LC01. Each dataframe has a column named "Entrez.Gene", which I have converted to "as.character" just to make sure merge is not looking at factor levels. Because I have done some filtering, the Entrez.Gene

Hi, I have an existing XML document on disk, which I'd like to use as a template, and exchange a subnode with my own newly created subtree: <?xml version="1.0"?> <Duncan> <name a="1" b="xyz"> <first>Duncan</first> <last>Temple Lang</last> </name> </Duncan> created by e.g. ? library(XML)

I'm trying to read some web tables directly into R. These are both genome sequencing projects (eukaryotes and metagenomes) from NCBI and look very similar; however, only the first one works. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/genomes/leuks.cgi http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/genomes/lenvs.cgi I added ?dump=selected to the end of the url string to get a tab- delimited file (which is what happens

Hi, Trying to access files on the ftp server at ftp.ncbi.nih.gov will either give a time out or sometimes even a segfault on Linux. The 2 following methods give the same results: f <- url("ftp://ftp.ncbi.nih.gov/pub/geo/DATA/SOFT/GDS/GDS10.soft.gz", open="r") download.file("ftp://ftp.ncbi.nih.gov/pub/geo/DATA/SOFT/GDS/GDS10.soft.gz", destfile=tempfile())

For R v2.1.1 patched and R v2.2.0 devel: Calling source(file, chdir=TRUE) with is.character(file) != TRUE, that is, with 'file' as a connection, will generate an error. Example: > file <- textConnection("cat('Hello world\n')") > source(file, chdir=TRUE) Error in source(file, chdir = TRUE) : Object "ofile" not found Of course, it does not make

Hello to Rusers! I am puzzled with R and I really do not know where to look in for my problem. I am moving from SAS and I have difficulties in translating SAS to R world. I hope I will get some hints or pointers so I can study from there on. I would like to do something like this. In SAS I can write a macro as example bellow, which is afcourse a silly one but shows what I don't know how

Hi, I am trying to use a CGI service (Pubchem PUG) via RCurl and am running into a problem where the data must be supplied via POST - but I don't know the keyword for the argument. The data to be sent is an XML fragment. I can do this via the command line using curl: I save the XML string to a file called query.xml and then do curl -d @query.xml
