Fetch protein information of genes in a gene list

Question

[CTLong]

Hi,

My analysis generated a gene list, of which I would like to add extra annotations to this gene list. Does anyone know how to add the standard gene name in FULL to the gene name abbreviations I have at the moment? Also, I would like to add annotation of whether there are existing drugs that targets the corresponding gene/protein. Thanks!

Biomart does this.

Thanks for the reply. Do you know if there are ways that I can fetch existing drugs that target these genes/proteins?

For drug targets, there is a package drugTargetInteractions, vignette below:
