Dear list, following the instructions in the help-pages (exonmap.pdf) I get to a list of 'significant' exons/genes (sigs) but when interrogating xMap (which we have installed locally with the most recent version of mySQL) the query-functions always return empty vectors. After looking more carefully the SQL tables we realized that by furnishing "Probeset ID" from Affymetrix gives correct results. However, the function "names" used with "names(fc(pc.exonmap))[.." returns different identifiers and the corresponding Affymetrix "Probeset ID" are/would not be known at this stage of the analysis ! We realized that the table "probset.sql" allows to retreive such Affymetrix "Probeset ID" (given the names in sigs were mapped with the rownames of the expression-set). But I don't see one of the functions of the package exonmap allowing to do such a query, am I incorrect ?. Using the command, "featureNames" (following the example form "exonmap.example.pdf") we get the same result as with "names(fc(pc.exonmap))[.." , still an output in format that doesn't seem to be the correct one to the correct one for entering the pre-built SQL queries. Any suggestions ? Thank's in advance, Wolfgang Raffelsberger > data(exonmap) > pc.exonmap <- pc(x.rma, "group", c("a", "b")) > sigs <- names(fc(pc.exonmap))[abs(fc(pc.exonmap)) > 1 & tt(pc.exonmap) < 1e-04] > length(sigs) # ger 31 entries > sigs[1:3] # look at the 1st 3 of them ...
