_D_e_s_c_r_i_p_t_i_o_n:

     drosophila2LOCUSID is an R environment that provides mappings
     between manufacturer ids and Entrez Gene ids.

_D_e_t_a_i_l_s:

     Each manufacturer id is mapped to a vector of Entrez Gene ids. An
     'NA' is assigned to those manufacturer ids that can not be mapped
     to an Entrez Gene id at this time.

     If a given manufacturer id can be mapped to different Entrez Gene
     ids from various sources, we attempt to select the common ids. If
     a concensus cannot be determined, we select the smallest id.

     Mappings were based on data provided by:
