The restez package comes with five families of functions: setup, database, get, entrez and internal/private.
Setup functions
These functions allow a user to set the filepath for where the GenBank files should be stored, create connections and verify these settings.
Database functions
These functions download specific parts of GenBank and create the local SQL-like database.
GenBank functions
These functions allow a user to query the local SQL-like database. A user can use an NCBI accession ID to retrieve sequences or whole GenBank records.
Entrez functions
The entrez functions are wrappers to the entrez_*
functions in the
rentrez package. e.g the restez's entrez_fetch will first try to search the
local database, if it fails it will then call rentrez's
rentrez::entrez_fetch()
with the same arguments.
Private/internal functions
These functions work behind the scenes to make everything work. If you're
curious you can read their documentation using the form
?restez:::functionname
.
