synGetAnnotations

Retrieve annotations for an Entity from the Synapse Repository as a named list.

Note that collapsing annotations from the native Synapse format to a named list may involve some loss of information. See _getRawAnnotations to get annotations in the native format.

synGetAnnotations(entity, version=NULL)

Arguments

entity

version

The version of the Entity to retrieve.

Value

a named list whose names are annotation names and whose values are annotation values

Examples

if (FALSE) {
file<-synGet("syn11705401")
synSetAnnotations(file, list(a="A", b="B", c=101))
synGetAnnotations(file)
}
