gahgu95dALIASES {gahgu95d} | R Documentation |
gahgu95dALIASES is an R environment that provides mappings between custom probeset identifiers and alternative Gene Symbols.
Each identifier is mapped to a named vector containing alternative Gene Symbols for the
corresponding gene. An NA
is reported if there is no alternative
Gene Symbols for a given gene.
Each element of aliases vectors is named with a reference to databases reporting the corresponding alias. The databases names are included in square brakets and could be one or more of the following ones: HGNC, UniProt, SwissProt, TrEMBL, NCBI, GDB, OMIM, GeneLoc
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:
GeneCards database - www.genecards.org
