Map between probeset Identifiers and Entrez Gene

Description

gahgu95bENTREZID is an R object that provides mappings between probeset identifiers and Entrez Gene identifiers. gahgu95bENTREZID2PROBE provides the reverse mapping.

Details

Each probeset identifier is mapped to a vector of Entrez Gene identifiers. An NA is assigned to those probeset identifiers that can not be mapped to an Entrez Gene identifier at this time.

Mappings were based on data provided by: Genecards ( http://www.genecards.org ) on 2009-mag06

Examples

        x <- gahgu95bENTREZID
        # Get the probe identifiers that are mapped to an ENTREZ Gene ID
        mapped_probes <- mappedkeys(x)
        # Convert to a list
        xx <- as.list(x[mapped_probes])
        if(length(xx) > 0) {
          # Get the ENTREZID for the first five probes
          xx[1:5]
          # Get the first one
          xx[[1]]
        }
