## Map between custom probeset Identifiers and Gene Symbols

### Description

gahgu95cSYMBOL is an R environment that provides mappings between custom probeset identifiers and gene abbreviations.

### Details

Each identifier is mapped to an abbreviation for the corresponding gene. An `NA` is reported if there is no known abbreviation for a given gene.

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:

        xx <- as.list(gahgu95cSYMBOL)
        if(length(xx) > 0){
            # The symbols for the first two elements of XX
            xx[1:2]
            # Get the first one
            xx[[1]]
