## Mappings between probe identifiers and PubMed 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. hgu2beta7PMID maps probe identifiers to PubMed identifier for publications that cited the genes represented by the probe 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:

### Examples

        # Convert the environment to a list
        xx <- as.list(hgu2beta7PMID)
        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() && !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")
            }
        }
