It looks like you are using windows and they do not provide packages for windows users. The reason they are not recognized by R is that they won't work. Your options are to 1) install enough tools on your computer to build packages (details can be found on CRAN) 2) use the remapped probe packages that are released through the Bioconductor project for which we do have windows packages I have no idea what the intentions of AffyProbeMiner are, they have never submitted anything, and until they do, it won't even be considered, best wishes Robert phguardiol at aol.com wrote: > Dear colleagues, > > > I m trying to use the AffyProbeMiner packages available from http://gauss.dbb.georgetown.edu/liblab/affyprobeminer/gene.html?that can replace the usual CDF probes and annotation files available in BioC. > > I m using R 2.6.0 under WinXPPro SP2. > I have downloaded the files available on the webpage above in the R library folder. > These are gz.rar compressed files and are not recognized in R windows : Packages -> Install packages from local zip files. > I have used WinRar to uncompress these files and have copy and paste the?folders (ex: hgu133ageneccds) located in the uncompressed folders (ex: hgu133ageneccds_1.1.0) in the R folder library.?? > > Then if I type: > ?> library(hgu133ageneccds) > > I obtain the following error: > Error in library(hgu133ageneccds) : > ?

Hi! The methodology of generating these remapped probes packages is described in NAR, and on the the web. See: http://nar.oxfordjournals.org/cgi/content/full/33/20/e175 http://brainarray.mbni.med.umich.edu/Brainarray/Database/CustomCDF/cdf readme.htm There is also an example of how to use these package at the end of the readme page. In addition to Bioconductor, you can download the probe packages from: http://brainarray.mbni.med.umich.edu/Brainarray/Database/CustomCDF/CDF _download_v10.asp If you check the list on this site, you'll see that there are several packages for the same chip. These packages are based on different genome features (gene or transcript) or on different databases (Unigene, RefSeq, Entrez Gene, Ensembl, Vega). Note that in order to be able to use GCRMA, you need to install both CDF and probe packages for your chip.

In addition, at the bottom of the page you reference there is this message: If you have any problems, questions or feedback on the tool, please email us. Where the 'email us' is a link that you can use to send them an email. So why would you ignore that source of information and instead ask a group of people who are completely unrelated to the project from which you got the package? Anyway, I have to go finish the email I am sending to Bill Gates asking why my Fedora 7 box won't play Quicktime movies...
