_D_e_s_c_r_i_p_t_i_o_n:

     gahgu133bDESCRIPTIONS is an R environment that provides mappings
     between custom probeset identifiers and corresponding gene
     description.

_D_e_t_a_i_l_s:

     Each identifier is mapped to a named vector containing gene
     description (also called "gene title" or "gene name")  for the
     corresponding gene. An 'NA' is reported if there is no gene
     description for a given gene.

     Each element of named vector contains alternative description for
     the corresponding gene and  is named with a reference to databases
     reporting the corresponding description. The databases names are
     included in square brakets and could be one or more of the
     following ones: HGNC, UniProt, SwissProt, TrEMBL, NCBI, GDB, OMIM,
     GeneLoc

     Mappings were based on data provided by:
