Re: converting gene name to affy probe

Hi Jim,

thanks for the advise the problem here is I have a list of genes and if I use mget instead of get then it give me a
list so what i like to do is to convert list of genes to their probes but based on what you mentioned its not
hard to get it to work.

thanks

 orresponding affy probe names. I managed to write a script that puts the genes in an array then I use the feat =
getFeature(symbol = gensym, type = "affy_hg_u133a", mart = mart) in biomaRt !
 however I seem to hit a snag when there is more than probe for a gene 
name. Does anyone know of an existing script that can do this? thanks Ruppert> >
