org.Sc.sgdCHRLOC {org.Sc.sgd.db} | R Documentation |
org.Sc.sgdCHRLOC is an R object that maps ORF identifiers to the starting position of the gene. The position of a gene is measured as the number of base pairs.
Each ORF identifier maps to a named vector of chromosomal locations, where the name indicates the chromosome.
Chromosomal locations on both the sense and antisense strands are measured as the number of base pairs from the p (5' end of the sense strand) to q (3' end of the sense strand) arms. Chromosomal locations on the antisense strand have a leading "-" sign (e. g. -1234567).
Since some genes have multiple start sites, this field can map to multiple locations.
Mappings were based on data provided by: Yeast Genome ( ftp://genome-ftp.stanford.edu/pub/yeast/data_download ) on 2007-Aug18
