Hi, there; I am new to bioconductor, thus I have a simple question. How to get gene names in arabidopsis array, I can get affyID, but hope to get gene name or find affyID for a list of genes. I tried > getSYMBOL("267139_s_at","ath1121501cdf") Error in get(x, envir, mode, inherits) : variable "ath1121501cdfSYMBOL" was not found Thanks! fangxin E-mail: fhong@salk.edu

We do not currently have annotation packages for arabidopsis (please look at the meta-data web page, and at the vignettes in the annotate package for more complete descriptions). I think we may have annotation for arabidopsis (and a few other model organisms) in the next release (about 1 month from now), Robert > Error in get(x, envir, mode, inherits) : variable "ath1121501cdfSYMBOL" > was not found > > Thanks! > > fangxin > E-mail: fhong@salk.edu > > _______________________________________________ > Bioconductor mailing list > Bioconductor@stat.math.ethz.ch > https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/bioconductor -- +--------------------------------------------------------------------- ------+ | Robert Gentleman phone : (617) 632-5250 | | Associate Professor fax: (617) 632-2444 | | Department of Biostatistics office: M1B20 | | Harvard School of Public Health email: rgentlem@jimmy.harvard.edu | +--------------------------------------------------------------------- ------+
