Map between Manufacturer IDs and Genes

Description

hgu95dGENENAME is an R object that maps manufacturer identifiers to the corresponding gene name.

Details

Each manufacturer identifier maps to a named vector containing the gene name. The vector name corresponds to the manufacturer identifier. If the gene name is unknown, the vector will contain an NA.

Gene names currently include both the official (validated by a nomenclature committee) and preferred names (interim selected for display) for genes. Efforts are being made to differentiate the two by adding a name to the vector.

Mappings were based on data provided by: Entrez Gene ( ftp://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/gene/DATA ) on 2007-Aug23

Examples

        x <- hgu95dGENENAME
        # Get the probe identifiers that are mapped to a gene name
        mapped_probes <- mappedkeys(x)
        # Convert to a list
        xx <- as.list(x[mapped_probes])
        if(length(xx) > 0) {
          # Get the GENENAME for the first five probes
          xx[1:5]
          # Get the first one
          xx[[1]]
        }
