YEASTGENENAME {YEAST} | R Documentation

## Mappings between probe identifiers and the names of genes the probe ids correspond to

### Description

YEASTGENENAME maps probe identifiers to the names of genes corresponding to the probe ids. Gene names are the descriptions used for gene reports that have been validated by a nomenclature committee or interim selected for display

### Details

Gene names currently include both the official (validated by a nomenclature committee) and preferred names (interim selected for display) for genes. Efforts are being made to differentiate the two by adding a name to the vector.

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 to a list
         xx <- as.list(YEASTGENENAME)
         # 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]]
         }
