_D_e_s_c_r_i_p_t_i_o_n:

     Each chromosome of a given organism is assigned a number or letter
     for labeling purpose. hgu95av2CHR maps probe ids to the numbers or
     letters labeling chromosomes where the genes corresponding to the
     probe ids reside

_D_e_t_a_i_l_s:

     Since a given gene may be found in more than one chromosomes, each
     probe id is mapped to a character vector of length 1 or greater.
     Probe ids that can not be mapped to any chromosome at the time
     when the package was built are assinged NAs. 

     Mappings were based on data provided by:
