Map between TAIR IDs and Genes

Description

org.At.tairGENENAME is an R object that maps TAIR identifiers to the corresponding gene name.

Details

Each TAIR identifier maps to a named vector containing the gene name. The vector name corresponds to the TAIR identifier. If the gene name is unknown, the vector will contain an NA.

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: Tair ftp://ftp.arabidopsis.org/home/tair/Genes/TAIR10\_genome\_release/TAIR10\_functional\_descriptions With a date stamp from the source of: 2013-May16

Examples

        x <- org.At.tairGENENAME
        # Get the TAIR identifiers that are mapped to a gene name
        mapped_tairs <- mappedkeys(x)
        # Convert to a list
        xx <- as.list(x[mapped_tairs])
        if(length(xx) > 0) {
          # Get the GENENAME for the first five tairs
          xx[1:5]
          # Get the first one
          xx[[1]]
        }
