getAncestors {GOSim} | R Documentation |
Returns the list of all (also indirect) ancestors (= less specific terms) associated to each GO term. The type of relationship between GO terms ("is a" or "part of") is ignored.
getAncestors()
List with entry names for each GO term. Each entry contains a character vector with the ancestor GO terms.
The result is computed within the currently set ontology ("BP","MF","CC"). It directly uses the "GO" library to compute the result.
