     PubMed <URL: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/PubMed/> includes over 14
     million citations for biomedical articles back to the 1950's. Each
     article has a unique PubMed identifier. hgu2beta7PMID2PROBE maps
     PubMed identifiers to probe identifiers representing genes cited
     by the publications identified by the PubMed identifiers

_D_e_t_a_i_l_s:

     Titles, abstracts, and possibly full texts of articles can be
     obtained from PubMed by providing a valid PubMed id. The pubmed
     function of annotate can also be used for the same purpose

     Mappings were based on data provided by:
