Abstract

Summary: The proliferation of biological sequence data, due to developments in molecular biology techniques, has led to the creation of numerous open access databases on gene and protein sequencing. However, the lack of direct equivalence between identifiers across these databases difficults data integration. To address this challenge, we introduce ginmappeR, an integrated R package facilitating the translation of gene and protein identifiers between databases. By providing a unified interface, ginmappeR streamlines the integration of diverse data sources into biological workflows, so it enhances efficiency and user experience.
