Hello,

I was looking at setReadable and was happy to note that this exists and works well for conversion to gene symbols. I think sometimes it may be necessary to convert to an ensembl ID instead and it would be great if there were support for this.

Looking at

DOSE/R/setReadable.R

Line 53 in 20c57bc

gn <- EXTID2NAME(OrgDb, genes, keyType)

, it seems EXTID2NAME only currently does keytype -> gene symbol conversion.

I envision this would consist of a switch and perhaps an extra argument requesting for the target conversion.

Thank you,

NelsonGon
