ygs98DESCRIPTION {ygs98.db}R Documentation

An annotation data file that maps Open Reading Frame (ORF) identifiers to textural descriptions of the corresponding genes

Description

ygs98DESCRIPTION maps yeast ORF identifiers to descriptive information about genes corresponding to the ORF identifiers

Details

This is an R object containing key and value pairs. Keys are ORF identifiers and values are the corresponding descriptions of genes. Values are vectors of length 1. Probe identifiers that can not be mapped to descriptive information are assigned a value NA.

Annotation based on data provided by: Yeast Genome ( ftp://genome-ftp.stanford.edu/pub/yeast/data_download ) on 2008-Mar29

Examples

        x <- ygs98DESCRIPTION
        # Get the probe identifiers that are mapped to gene descriptions
        mapped_probes <- mappedkeys(x)
        # Convert to a list
        xx <- as.list(x[mapped_probes])
        if(length(xx) > 0) {
          # Get the gene descriptions for the first five probes
          xx[1:5]
          # For the first probe
          xx[[1]]
        }
