YEASTPMID2PROBE {YEAST} | R Documentation

## Mappings between PubMed identifiers and probe identifiers

### Description

PubMed http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/PubMed/ includes over 14 million citations for biomedical articles back to the 1950's. Each article has a unique PubMed identifier. YEASTPMID2PROBE maps PubMed identifiers to probe identifiers representing genes cited by the publications identified by the PubMed identifiers

### Details

Titles, abstracts, and possibly full texts of articles can be obtained from PubMed by providing a valid PubMed id. The pubmed function of annotate can also be used for the same purpose

Mappings were based on data provided by:

Yeast Genome:http://www.yeastgenome.org/DownloadContents.shtml. Built: Yeast Genome data are built at various time intervals. Sources used were downloaded Fri Jan 7 14:56:40 2005

### Examples

        # Convert the environment to a list
        xx <- as.list(YEASTPMID2PROBE)
        if(length(xx) > 0){
            # The probe ids for the first two elements of XX
            xx[1:2]
            # Get the first one
            xx[[1]]
            if(interactive() && require(annotate)){
                # Gets article information as XML files for a PubMed id
                xmls <- pubmed(names(xx)[1], disp = "data")
                # Views article information using a browser
                pubmed(names(xx)[1], disp = "browser")
            }
        }
