\title{Map between Manufacturer Identifiers and cytogenetic maps/bands}
\description{
   indacMAP is an R object that provides mappings between
   manufacturer identifiers and cytoband locations.
}
\details{
  Each manufacturer 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 \code{NA} is reported for
  any manufacturer identifiers that cannot be mapped to a cytoband at this time.
  
  The physical location of each band on a chromosome can be obtained
  from another object named "organism"CYTOLOC in a separate data
  package for human(humanCHRLOC), mouse(mouseCHRLOC), and rat(ratCHRLOC).  
  
  Mappings were based on data provided by: Entrez Gene
