\title{Map between Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG)
  pathway identifiers and Manufacturer Identifiers}
\description{
 agPATH2PROBE is an R object that provides mappings between
 KEGG identifiers and manufacturer identifiers.
}
\details{
  Each KEGG identifier is mapped to a named vector of manufacturer identifiers. The name
  represents the KEGG identifier and the vector contains all manufacturer identifiers
  that are found in that particular pathway. An \code{NA} is reported
  for any KEGG identifier that cannot be mapped to any manufacturer identifiers.

  Pathway name for a given pathway identifier can be obtained using the KEGG
  data package that can either be built using AnnBuilder or downloaded
  from Bioconductor \url{http://www.bioconductor.org}.

  Graphic presentations of pathways are searchable at
  \url{http://www.genome.ad.jp/kegg/pathway.html} using pathway identifiers as keys.
  
  Mappings were based on data provided by: KEGG GENOME  
  ftp://ftp.genome.jp/pub/kegg/genomes
