Hi,
I usually retrieve the annotation of a probe in this way:
library(hgu133plus2.db)
mget(c('214657_s_at', '224565_at', '224566_at'), hgu133plus2ENTREZID)
# $`214657_s_at`
# [1] NA
#
# $`224565_at`
# [1] NA
#
# $`224566_at`
# [1] NA
These probes does not have an annotation, right ?
But today I tried to look at NCBI GEO annotation (GPL570). I did a simple grep on the file ...
grep '214657_s_at' GPL570-13270.txt

These three probes were annotated on "Jun 9, 2011" as NEAT1.
Could someone help me to understand why there is such difference between NCBI/GEO and bioconductor ?
Thanks,
