A common task is to find all the GEO entities of one type associated with another GEO entity (eg., find all GEO samples associated with GEO platform 'GPL96'). This function provides a very fast mapping between entity types to facilitate queries of this type.

1	geoConvert(in_list, out_type = c("gse", "gpl", "gsm", "gds", "smatrix"), sqlite_db_name = "GEOmetadb.sqlite")

`in_list`	Character vector of GEO entities to convert from.
`out_type`	Character vector of GEO entity types to which to convert.
`sqlite_db_name`	The filename of the GEOmetadb sqlite database file

A list of data.frames.
