In Bioconductor/annotate: Annotation for microarrays

Create a Query String for a UniGene Identifier

Description

Given a set of UniGene identifiers this function creates a set of URLs that an be used to either open a browser to the requested location or that can be used as anchors in the construction of HTML output.

Usage

UniGeneQuery(query, UGaddress="UniGene/", type="CID")

Arguments

query	The UniGene identifiers.
UGaddress	The address of UniGene, within the NCBI repository.
type	What type of object is being asked for; eithe CID or UGID

Details

Using published details from NCBI we construct an appropriate string for directing a web browser to the information available at the NCBI for that genomic product (usually an EST).

Value

A character vector containing the query string.

Note

Be very careful about automatically querying this resource. It is considered antisocial behavior by the owners.
