queryGeneExpression {ENCODExplorer} | R Documentation

## Queries and returns average gene expression level for a given biosample_name.

### Description

ENCODE files are automatically split by biosample_description (which will separate samples from different cell fractions or sequencing methods) and by the treatment columns.

### Usage

    queryGeneExpression(biosample_name, assay = NULL, assembly = NULL,
      simplify = TRUE, use_interactive = FALSE)

### Arguments

`biosample_name` | The cell-line/tissue for which average expression levels should be queried.
`assay` | The assay type to summarize. If `NULL`, the most generic assay type is automatically selected.
`assembly` | The target genomic assembly. If `NULL`, the most recent available assembly is selected.
`simplify` | If TRUE, non-discriminatory columns are removed from the metadata, and if only one sample group is found, it is renamed "All".
`use_interactive` | If TRUE, the user will be prompted to select prefered metadata values when multiple possibilities are available. available assembly is selected.

### Value

An object of class ENCODEExpressionSummary.
