Hi Gina, I do agree with Jim, have a look at the mentioned packages. However if for some reason you still want to use the csv file from affy, do have a look the the merge() function. That should solve your problem. By the way, which one has 54630 rows and which 54640? Because if you use the affy csv file you might want to check wether the missing probeset ids are AFFX-xxxx probesets or some transcripts you want to keep in your data set. As for the AFFX-probesets you can ignore those because these are only some kind of internal controls you won't need for differential expression analysis. cheers Benjamin PS: Another thing: If you prefer some interface for annotation of not sooo big gene lists instead of coding some R-functions, have a look at BioMart on the ensembl webpage. As for my part, I always think R-code has the advantage, that you can save and use it as a kind of log-book. So you can always comeback to it and check what you have done and how.

The BioC annotation packages contain the same information, but are designed to be easily used from within R, and you will find the .csv files you can get from Affy are not as user-friendly. > > You can get the annotation package using biocLite(): > > biocLite("hgu133plus2.db") > > Note that there is no reason to expect that the order of annotation data will be the same as the order of expression data.
