## Map between ORF IDs and Genes

### Description

org.Sc.sgdGENENAME is an R object that maps ORF identifiers to the corresponding gene name.

### Details

Each ORF identifier maps to a named vector containing the gene name. The vector name corresponds to the ORF 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: Yeast Genome ( ftp://genome-ftp.stanford.edu/pub/yeast/data_download ) on 2008-Sep06

### Examples

            x <- org.Sc.sgdGENENAME
            # Get the gene names that are mapped to an ORF identifier
            mapped_genes <- mappedkeys(x)
            # Convert to a list
            xx <- as.list(x[mapped_genes])
            if(length(xx) > 0) {
              # Get the GENE NAME for the first five genes
              xx[1:5]
              # Get the first one
              xx[[1]]
            }
