Dear ZRL Since I have never used the "annotate" package I am afraid that I cannot answer this question. Package "xps" uses the official Affymetrix PGF, CLF, probeset.annotation and transcript.annotation files, and thus is able to provide gene symbol and location. If you want to know how to use xps with exon arrays, there are two files located in subdirectory xps/examples, namely "script4xps.R" and "script4exon.R". Both scripts contain code examples which you mostly need to only copy/paste. Best regards Christian zrl wrote: > Hi Christian, > > Thank you for your reply.
