     agCHRLOC is an R environment that maps manufacturer identifiers to
     the starting position of the gene. The position of a gene is
     measured as the number of base pairs.

_D_e_t_a_i_l_s:

     Each manufacturer identifier maps to a named vector of chromosomal
     locations, where the name indicates the chromosome. Due to
     inconsistencies that may exist at the time the environment was
     built, these vectors may contain more than one chromosome and/or
     location. If the chromosomal location is unknown, the vector will
     contain an 'NA'.

     Chromosomal locations on both the sense and antisense strands are
     measured as the number of base pairs from the p (5' end of the
     sense strand) to q (3' end of the sense strand) arms. Chromosomal
     locations on the antisense strand have a leading "-" sign (e. g.
     -1234567). 

     Mappings were based on data provided by:
