_D_e_s_c_r_i_p_t_i_o_n:

     agSUMFUNC is an R environment that provides mappings between
     manufacturer ids and brief summaries of functions of the gene
     products.

_D_e_t_a_i_l_s:

     Each manufacturer id is mapped to a vector containing a brief
     summary of the function for the gene product. This information was
     previously supplied by LocusLink, but with the change to Entrez
     Gene these data may no longer be available, and the environment
     may be discontinued.

     Mappings were based on data provided by:
