Thanks for the quick answer! Sadly I've already been at that point. The problem here is, that I then have a table with a column "gene_assignment" that has EVERY single identifier in it just separated by "//" or "///". I can not reliably extract the information I want from it, because sometimes there is no RefSeq or whatsoever and the second (or third) item after the next "//" is used. No I mean there has to be a way to get an ExpressionSet object from the MoEx 1.0 ST array with IDs in a way I can map them to a annotation such as "mouse4302SYMBOL" or "mouse4302ENTREZID" as it would work on ANY other array type (including Mouse Gene 1.0 ST arrays). How am I gonna' get there? 2012/6/13 Morgane Boone <morgane.boone@ugent.be> > You can find the annotations on the affymetrix website, right here: > http://www.affymetrix.com/**estore/browse/products.jsp?** > productId=131474&categoryId=**35765&productName=GeneChip-** > Mouse-Exon-1.0-ST-Array#1_3<http: www.affymetrix.com="" estore="" browse="" products.jsp?productid="131474&amp;categoryId=35765&amp;productName=GeneChip-" mouse-exon-1.0-st-array#1_3=""> > under the section `NetAffx annotation files`.
