Title: Converts Human gene symbols to entrez IDs
Description: Queries multiple resources authors HGNC (2019) <https://www.genenames.org>, authors limma (2015) <doi:10.1093/nar/gkv007>
to find the correspondence between evolving nomenclature of human gene symbols, aliases, previous symbols or synonyms with
stable, curated gene entrezID from NCBI database. This allows fast, accurate and up-to-date correspondence
between human gene expression datasets from various date and platform (e.g: gene symbol: BRCA1 - ID: 672).

Title: Visualizing Multiple Sequence Alignments with 'ggplot2'
Description: Create extensible figures of multiple sequence alignments, using the 'ggplot2' plotting engine. 'alignfigr' will create a baseline figure of a multiple sequence alignment which can be fully customized to the user's liking with standard 'ggplot2' features.

Description: Functions are provided to calculate the 'ALINE' Distance between a cognate pair. The score is based on phonetic features represented using the Unicode-compliant International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA). Parameterized features weights used to determine the optimal alignment and functions are provided to estimate optimum values.This project was funded by the National Science Foundation Cultural Anthropology Program (Grant number SBS-1030031) and the University of Maryland College of Behavioral and Social Sciences.
