Map between custom probeset Identifiers and Gene Symbols

Description

gahgu95av2SYMBOL is an R environment that provides mappings between custom probeset identifiers and gene abbreviations.

Details

Each identifier is mapped to an abbreviation for the corresponding gene. An NA is reported if there is no known abbreviation for a given gene.

Symbols typically consist of 3 letters that define either a single gene (ABC) or multiple genes (ABC1, ABC2, ABC3). Gene symbols can be used as key words to query public databases such as Entrez Gene.

Mappings were based on data provided by:

Examples

    # Convert the environment to a list
    xx <- as.list(gahgu95av2SYMBOL)
    if(length(xx) > 0){
        # The symbols for the first two elements of XX
        xx[1:2]
        # Get the first one
        xx[[1]]
    }
