Use this function to retrieve sequence annotations (features) of a protein by it's UniProt accession.

Usage

rba_uniprot_features(
  accession,
  types = NULL,
  categories = NULL,
  location = NULL,
  ...
)

Arguments

accession

UniProtKB primary or secondary accession.

You can supply up to 20 types.

categories

Sequence annotation (Features) categories (subsection). accepted values are: "MOLECULE_PROCESSING", "TOPOLOGY", "SEQUENCE_INFORMATION", "STRUCTURAL", "DOMAINS_AND_SITES", "PTM", "VARIANTS" and/or "MUTAGENESIS". You can supply up to 8 categories.

location

(character) Filter the features by the amino acid position in the sequence(s). Provide the range as a character string with the format "begin-end", e.g. "35-70"

...

rbioapi option(s). See rba_options's arguments manual for more information on available options.

Value
