Dear List, I want to extract ensembl gene ids from biomart to add to my microarray analysis output. However, there are some discrepancies that have me confused regarding the entrez gene id and ensemble gene id. Array used: Illumina HumanHT12 v4. As an example: GAGE12F, GAGE12G, GAGE12I genes Microarray: Illumina HT12 v4 output: Entrez_Gene_ID Symbol Chromosome Probe_Id Probe_Type Cytoband 26748 GAGE12I X ILMN_1691563 A Xp11.23b 100008586 GAGE12F X ILMN_3242920 S Xp11.23b 645073 GAGE12G X ILMN_1664660 S Xp11.23b Definition Homo sapiens G antigen 12I (GAGE12I), mRNA. Homo sapiens G antigen 12F (GAGE12F), mRNA. Homo sapiens G antigen 12G (GAGE12G), mRNA. Biomart output: entrezgene ensembl_gene_id hgnc_symbol 1 100008586 ENSG00000241465 GAGE12I 2 100008586 ENSG00000236362 GAGE12F 3 100008586 ENSG00000215269 GAGE12G 1022 26748 ENSG00000241465 GAGE12I 1023 26748 ENSG00000236362 GAGE12F 1024 26748 ENSG00000215269 GAGE12G 2392 645073 ENSG00000241465 GAGE12I 2393 645073 ENSG00000236362 GAGE12F 2394 645073 ENSG00000215269 GAGE12G So please help me understand, why are there multiple results rather than true unique results. If I merge the two, based on the above, I would get an incorrectly merged file. (I cannot use the Illumina HT12 probe ids as a filter, as I was informed that in biomart these are mapped to the HT12 v3 chip).

This has to do with the difference between manufacturer mappings and annotations of genes. When the manufacturer creates a chip, they intend each reporter to interrogate a single transcript, and it is not unheard of for them to ignore other cross-hybridizing transcripts. On the other hand, the annotation of genes and especially cross- listing between annotation data bases cannot be so single minded. In the case of the GAGE genes, there are multiple transcripts with the same name, and multiple genomic positions for each transcript. If you look at the UCSC Genome Browser at this position: http://genome.ucsc.edu/cgi-bin/hgTracks?hgsid=208507527&hgt_doJsComman d=&position=chrX%3A49%2C323%2C231-49%2C333%2C657&hgtgroup_map_close=0& hgtgroup_phenDis_close=1&hgtgroup_genes_close=0&hgtgroup_rna_close=0&h gtgroup_expression_close=1&hgtgroup_regulation_close=1&hgtgroup_compGe no_close=0&hgtgroup_neandertal_close=0&hgtgroup_varRep_close=0 you can see that there are transcripts labeled GAGE12C, D, E, F, G, and I that are identical but for the UTR regions. I am actually surprised that the Biomart server didn't return these other GAGE12 transcripts as well.
