org.Pf.plasmoGENENAME {org.Pf.plasmo.db} | R Documentation |
org.Pf.plasmoGENENAME is an R object that maps ORF identifiers to the corresponding gene name.
Each ORF identifier maps to a named vector containing the gene
name. The vector name corresponds to the ORF identifier. If the
gene name is unknown, the vector will contain an NA
.
Gene names currently include both the official (validated by a nomenclature committee) and preferred names (interim selected for display) for genes. Efforts are being made to differentiate the two by adding a name to the vector.
Mappings were based on data provided by: Plasmo DB ( http://plasmodb.org/common/downloads/release-5.4/Pfalciparum ) on 31-Oct-2007
