org.Hs.egMAP is an R object that provides mappings between entrez gene identifiers and cytoband locations.
Each entrez gene identifier is mapped to a vector of cytoband locations. The
vector length may be one or longer, if there are multiple reported
chromosomal locations for a given gene. An NA is reported for
any entrez gene identifiers that cannot be mapped to a cytoband at this time.
Cytogenetic bands for most higher organisms are labeled p1, p2, p3, q1, q2, q3 (p and q are the p and q arms), etc., counting from the centromere out toward the telomeres. At higher resolutions, sub-bands can be seen within the bands. The sub-bands are also numbered from the centromere out toward the telomere. Thus, a label of 7q31.2 indicates that the band is on chromosome 7, q arm, band 3, sub-band 1, and sub-sub-band 2.
Mappings were based on data provided by: Entrez Gene ftp://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/gene/DATA With a date stamp from the source of: 2017-Nov6

## select() interface:
## Objects in this package can be accessed using the select() interface
## from the AnnotationDbi package. See ?select for details.
## Bimap interface:
x <- org.Hs.egMAP
# Get the entrez gene identifiers that are mapped to any cytoband
mapped_genes <- mappedkeys(x)
# Convert to a list
xx <- as.list(x[mapped_genes])
if(length(xx) > 0) {
# Get the ids for the first five genes
xx[1:5]
# Get the first one
xx[[1]]
}
#For the reverse map org.Hs.egMAP2EG
x <- org.Hs.egMAP2EG
# Get the cytobands that are mapped to any entrez gene id
mapped_bands <- mappedkeys(x)
# Convert to a list
xx <- as.list(x[mapped_bands])
if(length(xx) > 0) {
# Get the bands for the first five genes
xx[1:5]
# Get the first one
xx[[1]]
