I am writing a wrapper function for annotations. I would like to be able to pass the GeneChip identifier to mget as a character string. Attempts to do this via "paste", as below, do not work because envir expects an object, not a character string. Is there a work around for this? mget(x=affyIDVec[i], envir=paste("rat2302", GENENAME, sep=""), mode = "any", ... Mark W. Kimpel MD
