Map between custom probeset Identifiers and gene descriptions

Description

gahgu95dDESCRIPTIONS is an R environment that provides mappings between custom probeset identifiers and corresponding gene description.

Details

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:

Examples

    # Convert the environment to a list
    xx <- as.list(gahgu95dDESCRIPTIONS)
    if(length(xx) > 0){
        # The descriptions for the first two elements of XX
        xx[1:2]
        # Get the first one
        xx[[1]]
    }
