Annotation of probes by the names of genes they corresponding to

Description

hgu95av2GENENAME mappes probe ids to the names of genes corresponding to the probe ids. Gene names are the descriptions used for gene reports.

Details

This is an environment object with key and value pairs. Keys are probe ids and values are the names of genes. NAs are assigned to probe identifiers that can not be mapped to any gene name at this time.

Gene names include both the official and preferred names for genes.

Mappings were based on data provided by:

Examples

     # Convert to a list
     xx <- as.list(hgu95av2GENENAME)
     # Remove probes that do not map to any GENENAME
     xx <- xx[!is.na(xx)]
     if(length(xx) > 0){
         # Gets the gene names for the first five probe ids
         xx[1:5]
         # Get the first one
         xx[[1]]
     }
