     This package stores annotation data for genes from other organisms
     that have homologous relationships with genes in Arabidopsis
     thaliana. Homologous genes are genes that share an arbitrary
     threshold level of similarity determined by alignment of matching
     bases

_D_e_t_a_i_l_s:

     Data stored in this package are for genes that have homology with
     Arabidopsis thaliana. Homologous genes of other organisms are
     stored in separate packages with names in the format of
     three-letter organism code plus homology. The three-letter
     organism code consists the first letter of the genus name and the
     first two letters of the species name (e. g. hsa for Homo
     sapiens). 

     Help files for individual data environments contain detailed
     information about the data and the usage.

     The package was built using a downloadable R package - AnnBuilder
     (download and build your own) from www.bioconductor.org using the
     following public data sources:   

     HomoloGene:<URL: 
     ftp://ftp.ncbi.nih.gov/pub/HomoloGene/old/hmlg.ftp>. Built:
     HomoloGene built date not available 

     The function athhomology() provides information about the data
     files
