mapGeneInfo: Creating URL strings for external database links
In marray: Exploratory analysis for two-color spotted microarray data

Description Usage Arguments Details Author(s) Examples

These functions are used with htmlPage. The function mapGeneInfo, takes all the arguments and generate a character matrix of two columns. The first columns representing the name of the argument and the second columns represents the value of an argument. The function widget.mapGeneInfo allows the user to enter this information interactively.

mapGeneInfo(widget = FALSE, Gnames, Name = "pubmed", ID =
                 "genbank", ACC = "SMDacc", ...)
widget.mapGeneInfo(Gnames)

`widget`	A logical value specifying if widgets should be used.
`Name`	The external database for spot description, E.g. "pubmed".
`ID`	The external database for spot ID, E.g. "operon", "Riken", "locuslink".
`ACC`	The external database for gene accession number, E.g. "genebank".
`Gnames`	An object of class `matrix`, `data.frame` or `marrayInfo` which contains description of spotted probe sequences.
`...`	Other column names

The function mapGeneInfo generates a character matrix with the first column representing the column headings of "Gnames" and the second column representing the corresponding names in the list URLstring. For example, if a particular column in "Gnames" with column names "ID" contains genebank accession number, then the function mapGeneInfo generates a row containing "ID" in the first column and "genbank" in the second. Examples are SFGL and UCBFGL.

URLstring is a list contains the URL to various external database, E.g. operon, Riken, genbank.
The current choices are: "pubmed", "locuslink", "riken", "SMDclid", "SMDacc", "operonh2", "operonh1" , "operonm2", "operonm1" and "genbank" . "SMDclid" and "SMDacc" are links to Stanford Microarray Databases.
