Dear all:

I have a project on hugene st 1.0 v1

I got all the probesets ID and give it to idsi, then try to get all entrezid and genesymbolls

idsi<-probe.gs$PROBEID
annot<-select(hugene10sttranscriptcluster.db, as.character(idsi), c("ENTREZID", "SYMBOL"), "PROBEID")

Got error message:

Warning message:
In .generateExtraRows(tab, keys, jointype) :
  'select' resulted in 1:many mapping between keys and return rows

and it is weird some of the genes is apparently missing from the result data frame....

do not understand why, anyone had the same issue?

Thanks

That's not an error. It's a warning. And what it says is that there are multiple one-to-many mappings of probeset IDs to either Entrez Gene IDs or Hugo Symbols.

 

> z <- select(hugene10sttranscriptcluster.db, keys(hugene10sttranscriptcluster.db), c("SYMBOL","ENTREZID"))
> head(z[duplicated(z[,1]),])
     PROBEID       SYMBOL  ENTREZID

Dear James:

Thanks for your response, I do not think the warning will be an issue, but apparently this package is buggy because it misses a lot genes -- I downloaded the annotation from Affy and processed them under unix, those genes are there...

I wonder if anyone encountered such issue and has a work around...

thanks

The package isn't buggy - it reports exactly what we get from Affy. There are caveats however.

  1. We base annotations on RefSeq/GenBank and Entrez Gene IDs. Any transcript that isn't in one of those databases is invisible to the process. This could/should/might change, but for now there it is.
  2. The current annotation packages are based on the na34 annotation files that were current when we released. Affy has since admitted to a co-worker of mine that (at least for the HuEx 1.0 annotations) there are problems with these files, and have released the na35 (and just two days ago some na35.1) versions. I am in the process of re-building the annotation packages, and hypothetically the newer versions will be better in some substantive way.

hi, James:

thanks, that's explains it:

mydata<-frma(affyobj, target="core")

I think the "core" made a lot of genes missing... thanks for your explanation.

great help...

Using 'core' shouldn't make a lot of genes missing. This simply summarizes the probesets at the transcript level. This is different from Affy's concept of core probesets for the Exon arrays, where the core probesets are those with most evidence to actually exist. The Gene arrays only have (what Affy calls) core probesets to begin with (and for those there are often individual probes dropped for various reasons), so for oligo and frma core == transcript.
