## Map between Manufacturer Identifiers and PubMed Identifiers

### Description

rgu34aPMID is an R environment that provides mappings between manufacturer identifiers and PubMed identifiers.

### Details

Each manufacturer identifier is mapped to a named vector of PubMed identifiers. The name associated with each vector corresponds to the manufacturer identifier. The length of the vector may be one or greater, depending on how many PubMed identifiers a given manufacturer identifier is mapped to. An `NA` is reported for any manufacturer identifier that cannot be mapped to a 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(rgu34aPMID)
        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() && !is.null(xx[[1]]) && !is.na(xx[[1]])
               && require(annotate)){
                # Gets article information as XML files
                xmls <- pubmed(xx[[1]], disp = "data")
                # Views article information using a browser
                pubmed(xx[[1]], disp = "browser")
            }
        }
