     This package stores annotation data for genes from other organisms
     that have homologous relationships with genes in Anopheles
     gambiae. Homologous genes are genes that share an arbitrary
     threshold level of similarity determined by alignment of matching
     bases

_D_e_t_a_i_l_s:

     Data stored in this package are for genes that have homology with
     Anopheles gambiae. Homologous genes of other organisms are stored
     in separate packages with names in the format of three-letter
     organism code plus homology. The three-letter organism code
     consists the first letter of the genus name and the first two
     letters of the species name (e. g. hsa for Homo sapiens). 

     Help files for individual data environments contain detailed
     information about the data and the usage.

     The package was built using a downloadable R package - AnnBuilder
     (download and build your own) from www.bioconductor.org using the
     following public data sources:   

     HomoloGene:<URL: 
     ftp://ftp.ncbi.nih.gov/pub/HomoloGene/old/hmlg.ftp>. Built:
     HomoloGene built date not available 

     The function agahomology() provides information about the data
