     gahgu95bALIASES is an R environment that provides mappings between
     custom probeset identifiers and alternative Gene Symbols.

_D_e_t_a_i_l_s:

     Each identifier is mapped to a named vector containing alternative
     Gene Symbols for the corresponding gene. An 'NA' is reported if
     there is no alternative Gene Symbols for a given gene.

     Each element of aliases vectors is named with a reference to
     databases reporting the corresponding alias. 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

     Symbols typically consist of 3 letters that define either a single
     gene (ABC) or multiple genes (ABC1, ABC2, ABC3). Gene symbols can
     be used as key words to query public databases such as Entrez
     Gene.

     Mappings were based on data provided by:
