If you look at the object you will see some helpful information about it. <>= PANTHER.db @ By default, you can see that the \Robject{PANTHER.db} object is set to retrieve records from various species. The choice of the species is the intersection of species supported by PANTHER and the core annotation packages in bioconductor. Methods are provided to restrict all queries to a specific kind of species. In order to change it, you first need to look up the appropriate species identifier for the species that you are interested in. The PANTHER gene ontology is based on the Uniprot reference proteome set. In order to display the choices, we have provided the helper function \Rfunction{availablePantherSpecies} which will list all the supported species along with their Uniprot species name and taxonomy ids: <>= availablePantherSpecies(PANTHER.db) @ Once you have learned the PANTHER species name for the species of interest, you can then change the species for the \Robject{PANTHER.db} object: <>= species(PANTHER.db) <- "HUMAN" PANTHER.db resetSpecies(PANTHER.db) PANTHER.db @ As you can see the species is now restricted to Homo sapiens. To display all data which can be returned from a select query, the columns method can be used: <>= columns(PANTHER.db) @ Some of these fields can also be used as keytypes: <>= keytypes(PANTHER.db) @ It is also possible to display all possible keys of a table for any keytype. If keytype is unspecified, the FAMILY\_ID will be returned. <>= go_ids<-head(keys(PANTHER.db,keytype="GOSLIM_ID")) go_ids @ Finally, you can loop up whatever combinations of columns, keytypes and keys that you need when using \Rmethod{select}. <
