hgug4100aCHRLOC {hgug4100a} | R Documentation |
hgug4100aCHRLOC is an R environment that maps manufacturer identifiers to the starting position of the gene. The position of a gene is measured as the number of base pairs.
Each manufacturer identifier maps to a named vector of chromosomal locations,
where the name indicates the chromosome. Due to inconsistencies that
may exist at the time the environment was built, these vectors may
contain more than one chromosome and/or location. If the chromosomal
location is unknown, the vector will contain an NA
.
Chromosomal locations on both the sense and antisense strands are measured as the number of base pairs from the p (5' end of the sense strand) to q (3' end of the sense strand) arms. Chromosomal locations on the antisense strand have a leading "-" sign (e. g. -1234567).
Since some genes have multiple start sites, this field can map to multiple locations.
