What is the difference between GO2PROBES and GO2ALLPROBES in the annotated Affy arrays? Thanks! -Simon

Good question, (it is GO2PROBE though, no S on that one) - basically the first maps between a GO ID and the set of probes that map to those genes for which the given GO ID is the most specific term that applies. The second, maps to all probes for which the GO ID is appropriate (and hence includes genes that have more specific functions than the selected GO ID). Our documentation on this is weak, and will be improved for the next release. best wishes, Robert Simon Lin wrote: > What is the difference between GO2PROBES and GO2ALLPROBES in the annotated > Affy arrays?
