Make unique name identifiers for proteins — make

make_unique generates unique identifiers for a proteomics dataset based on "name" and "id" columns.

make_unique(proteins, names, ids, delim = ";")

Arguments

proteins	Data.frame, Protein table for which unique names will be created.
names	Character(1), Name of the column containing feature names.
ids	Character(1), Name of the column containing feature IDs.
delim	Character(1), Sets the delimiter separating the feature names within one protein group.

Value

A data.frame with the additional variables "name" and "ID" containing unique names and identifiers, respectively.

Examples

if(interactive()){
# Load example
data <- prot.raw
# Pick the appropriate columns to name proteins uniquely and informatively
data_unique <- make_unique(proteins_filtered, "Gene.names", "Protein.IDs", delim = ";")
}
