queryExpressionGeneric {ENCODExplorer} | R Documentation

## Queries and returns average expression levels 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

    queryExpressionGeneric(
      biosample_name,
      level = "gene quantifications",
      assay = NULL,
      assembly = NULL,
      simplify = TRUE,
      use_interactive = FALSE
    )

### Arguments

`biosample_name` | The cell-line/tissue for which average expression levels should be queried.
`level` | The type of expression level to summarize, either "gene quantifications" or "transcript quantifications".
`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.

### Value

An object of class ENCODEExpressionSummary.
