pathdb 0.1.0 (2026-06-03)

Major Changes

• Changed convert_id function to remove duplicates based on variance of RNA-seq data for each gene
  • This is an improvement from randomly removing genes
  • Removing duplicates as necessary, as unique IDs are required for Differential Expression and Pathway analysis

Minor Changes

• convert_id prints number of duplicate gene IDs detected and removed from the input data
• connect_database now prints the path to the downloaded database file (in the package cache) and the size of the file

• Initial CRAN submission.
