     Objects can be created by calls of the form 'new("genesym", ...)'.
     and generally just extend character or numeric so that vector
     operations are straightforward

     Currently, 'genesym' is used to allow HUGO symbols to be passed to
     '['; 'chrnum' identifies numerals or numeric constants as indices
     into the set of chromosomes (no chr prefix is allowed); 'rsid'
     identifies dbSNP identifiers; 'probeId' identifies a string as a
     microarray probe identifier.

     'snpdepth' identifies a number that will be used as the number of
     chromosome-specific test results to be retained in any genome-wide
     screen

_S_l_o_t_s:


     '._D_a_t_a': Object of class '"character"' ~~ 

_E_x_t_e_n_d_s:

     "character", distance 2. Class 'characterORMIAME', by class
     "character", distance 2.
