     PartheenMetaDataCHR is an R environment that provides mappings
     between a manufacturer identifier and the chromosome that contains
     the gene of interest.

_D_e_t_a_i_l_s:

     Each manufacturer identifier maps to a vector of chromosomes. Due
     to inconsistencies that may exist at the time the environment was
     built, the vector may contain more than one chromosome (e.g., the
     identifier may map to more than one chromosome). If the
     chromosomal location is unknown, the vector will contain an 'NA'.

     Mappings were based on data provided by:

     Entrez Gene:\<URL: ftp://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/gene/DATA/>. Built:
