Map between PubMed Identifiers and Manufacturer Identifiers

Description

ri16codPMID2PROBE is an R environment that provides mappings between PubMed identifiers and manufacturer identifiers.

Details

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

Titles, abstracts, and possibly full texts of articles can be obtained from PubMed by providing a valid PubMed identifier. 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(ri16codPMID2PROBE)
    if(length(xx) > 0){
        # The probe identifiers 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")
        }
    }
