Hi, You could use the s apply function to create a data frame of the annotation. If hgu133 plus 2.0 is your chip something like the following could be employed
>myAnnot <- data.frame(ACCNUM=sapply(contents(hgu133plus2ACCNUM), paste, >collapse=", "), SYMBOL=sapply(contents(hgu133plus2SYMBOL), paste, collapse=", >"), +DESC=sapply(contents(hgu133plus2GENENAME), paste, collapse=", ")); or >ID <- featureNames(eset) >Symbol <- getSYMBOL(ID, "hgu133plus2.db") >tmp <- data.frame(ID=ID, Symbol=Symbol, Name=Name, Ensembl=Ensembl, >stringsAsFactors=F) >tmp[tmp=="NA"] <- NA # The stringsAsFactors makes "NA" characters >fData(eset.norm) <- tmp Regards, Ekta -----Original Message----- From: r-help-boun...@r-project.org [mailto:r-help-boun...@r-project.org] On Behalf Of Peter Langfelder Sent: 03 April 2012 23:00 To: email mail Cc: r-help@r-project.org Subject: Re: [R] how to map microarray probe to gene, homology On Tue, Apr 3, 2012 at 7:21 AM, email mail <email8...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi: > > I have clustered microarray gene expression data and trying to map between > microarray probe, gene, pathway, gene ontology, and homology for a set of > (affy) microarray probes.

Yes, Bioconductor has annotation packages for microarray chips plus other packages for connecting gene identifiers to (for example) gene ontologies. For example, the package hgu133plus2.db contains annotations for the U133 plus 2 chip and you can use to map affy probe IDs to gene symbols, IDs, GO terms etc. Install the package, load it, then type ls("package:hgu133plus2.db") and look at the help files for each topic for more details and examples. The array annotations are chip-specific so you need to choose the right package for your chip.
