Map between PubMed Identifiers and Manufacturer Identifiers

Description

mgug4104aPMID2PROBE is an R environment that provides mappings between PubMed ids and manufacturer ids.

Details

Each PubMed id is mapped to a named vector of manufacturer ids. The name represents the PubMed id and the vector contains all manufacturer ids that are represented by that PubMed id. The length of the vector may be one or longer, depending on how many manufacturer ids are mapped to a given PubMed id.

Titles, abstracts, and possibly full texts of articles can be obtained from PubMed by providing a valid PubMed id. The pubmed function of annotate can also be used for the same purpose

Mappings were based on data provided by:

Examples

    # Convert the environment to a list
    xx <- as.list(mgug4104aPMID2PROBE)
    if(length(xx) > 0){
        # The probe ids for the first two elements of XX
        xx[1:2]
        # Get the first one
        xx[[1]]
        if(interactive() && require(annotate)){
            # Gets article information as XML files for a PubMed id
            xmls <- pubmed(names(xx)[1], disp = "data")
            # Views article information using a browser
            pubmed(names(xx)[1], disp = "browser")
        }
    }
