You might check either netaffx or biomaRt, but if there are no gene names for certain probesets in the annotation package that usually indicates that the probesets in question interrogate things that have yet to be named (e.g., ESTs, inferred genes, etc). > > > Best regards, > Guiyuan > > On Nov 28, 2007 2:05 PM, James W.
