\title{Mappings between probe identifiers and the names of genes the
  probe ids correspond to}
\description{
  hgu2beta7GENENAME maps probe identifiers to the names of genes corresponding
  to the probe ids. Gene names are the descriptions used for gene
  reports that have been validated by a nomenclature committee or
  interim selected for display 
}
\details{
  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:
