     This package stores annotation data for homologous genes across
     organisms that have homologous relationships with genes in Homo
     sapiens. Homologous genes are genes that share an arbitrary
     threshold level of similarity determined by alignment of matching
     bases

_D_e_t_a_i_l_s:

     Data stored in this package are for homologous genes of Homo
     sapiens. Homologous genes of other organisms are stored in
     separate packages with names in the format of three-letter
     organism code plus homology. The three-letter organism code
     consists the first letter of the genus name and the first two
     letters of the species name (e. g. hsa for Homo sapiens). 

     Help files for individual data environments contain detail
     information about the data and the usage.

     The package was built using a downloadable R package - AnnBuilder
     (download and build your own) from www.bioconductor.org using the
     following public data sources:   

     HomoloGene:<URL: 
     ftp://ftp.ncbi.nih.gov/pub/HomoloGene/old/hmlg.ftp>. Built:
     HomoloGene built date not available 

     The function hsahomology() provides information about the data
