## Map between Manufacturer Identifiers and Gene Function Summaries

### Description

chickenSUMFUNC is an R environment that provides mappings between manufacturer identifiers and brief summaries of functions of the gene products.

### Details

Each manufacturer identifier is mapped to a vector containing a brief summary of the function for the gene product. This information was previously supplied by Entrez Gene, but with the change to Entrez Gene these data may no longer be available, and the environment may be discontinued.

Mappings were based on data provided by:

Entrez Gene:ftp://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/gene/DATA/. Built: Source data downloaded from Entrez Gene on Wed Apr 9 10:03:04 2008

Package built Wed Apr 9 10:20:18 2008

        # Convert the environment to a list
        xx <- as.list(chickenSUMFUNC)
        if(length(xx) > 0){
            # The function summaries for the first two elements of XX
            xx[1:2]
            # Get the first one
            xx[[1]]
        }
