_D_e_s_c_r_i_p_t_i_o_n:

     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.

_U_s_a_g_e:

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

_A_r_g_u_m_e_n_t_s:

   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 SID 

_D_e_t_a_i_l_s:

     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).

_V_a_l_u_e:

     A character vector containing the query string.

_N_o_t_e:

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