Gene tools in Emacs

What’s gene-tools?

An interactive UI to query info of a gene in a given species.

Info comes from:

• Curated local data within this repo;
• External databases via API.

Supported species and actions

• Saccharomyces cerevisiae
  • Deletion collection primers
  • GFP collection primers
  • Query SGD database (requires sgd-lookup.el)

Usage

M-x gene-tools: choose organism, and then choose info to query, and then select gene name.

Installation

1. Clone or download this repository (path of folder is <path-to-gene-tools> below).
2. In your .emacs file (or .doom.d/config.el if you are using Doom Emacs), add the following lines:

   (add-to-list 'load-path "<path-to-gene-tools>")
   (require 'gene-tools)
       

Releases

Known issues

• The package loads relevant local data lazily, which may take a while if the local data file is large.
