\title{Map between Entrez Gene Identifiers and UniGene cluster identifiers}
\description{
   org.Xl.egUNIGENE is an R object that provides mappings between
   entrez gene identifiers and UniGene identifiers.
}
\details{
  Each entrez gene identifier is mapped to a UniGene identifier. An \code{NA} is
  reported if the entrez gene identifier cannot be mapped to UniGene at this time. 

  A UniGene identifier represents a cluster of sequences of a gene. Using
  UniGene identifiers one can query the UniGene database for information about
  the sequences.  
  
  Mappings were based on data provided by: Entrez Gene  
  ftp://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/gene/DATA  
  With a date stamp from the source of: 2010-Mar1
