Read a mapping between dataset ID and disease code

When assessing enrichment analysis results for phenotype relevance, it is assumed that each analyzed dataset investigates a certain phenotype such as a disease. This function reads a mapping between dataset IDs and assigned disease codes.

Usage

readDataId2diseaseCodeMap(map.file)

Arguments

map.file

Character. The path to the mapping file.

Value

A named character vector where each element of the vector is a disease code and the names are the dataset IDs.
