Arguments

hpo

Human Phenotype Ontology object, loaded from get_ontology.

queries

A named list of character vectors. Each vector includes a phenoptype name (or a substring) to be searched for in the HPO.

search_cols

HPO metadata column names to query for hits.

include_descendants

Include all descendants of query hits.

include_ancestors

Include all ancestors of query hits.

ignore.case

if FALSE, the pattern matching is case sensitive and if TRUE, case is ignored during matching.

fixed

logical. If TRUE, pattern is a string to be matched as is. Overrides all conflicting arguments.

verbose

Print messages.

Value

Named list of HPO IDs.
