First common upstream BE

Returns the first common Biological Entity (BE) upstream a set of BE.

Usage

firstCommonUpstreamBe(beList = listBe(), uniqueOrg = TRUE)

Arguments

beList

a character vector containing BE

uniqueOrg

a logical value indicating if as single organism is under focus. If false "Gene" is returned.

Details

This function is used to identified the level at which different BE should be compared. Peptides and transcripts should be compared at the level of transcripts whereas transcripts and objects should be compared at the level of genes. BE from different organism should be compared at the level of genes using homologs.
