Map Ensembl gene acession numbers with Entrez Gene identifiers

Description

yeast2ENSEMBL is an R object that contains mappings between Entrez Gene identifiers and Ensembl gene accession numbers.

Details

This object is a simple mapping of Entrez Gene identifiers http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?db=gene to Ensembl gene Accession Numbers.

Mappings were based on data provided by ensembl: http://www.ensembl.org/biomart/martview/

Examples

    x <- yeast2ENSEMBL
    # Get the entrez gene IDs that are mapped to an Ensembl ID
    mapped_genes <- mappedkeys(x)
    # Convert to a list
    xx <- as.list(x[mapped_genes])
    if(length(xx) > 0) {
      # Get the Ensembl gene IDs for the first five genes
      xx[1:5]
      # Get the first one
      xx[[1]]
    }
    #For the reverse map ENSEMBL2PROBE:
    # Convert to a list
    xx <- as.list(yeast2ENSEMBL2PROBE)
    if(length(xx) > 0){
       # Gets the entrez gene IDs for the first five Ensembl IDs
       xx[1:5]
       # Get the first one
       xx[[1]]
    }
