\begin{Description}\relax
gahgu95bALIASES is an R environment that provides mappings between
custom probeset identifiers and alternative Gene Symbols.
\end{Description}
\begin{Details}\relax
Each identifier is mapped to a named vector containing alternative Gene Symbols for the
corresponding gene. An \code{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:

\begin{ExampleCode}
    # Convert the environment to a list
    xx <- as.list(gahgu95bALIASES)
    if(length(xx) > 0){
        # The aliases symbols for the first two elements of XX
        xx[1:2]
        # Get the first one
        xx[[1]]
    }
