Here's what I'd do (more of a chip-style analysis than instant
WWW-based gratification, which might also be possible):

1. First create a tab-separated 2 column file, first row dummy
probe IDs (could be real or not), second row GB ID's.  So, you'd have
1 row in a file called "Dummy.tsv"



1    NM_004551




2.  Have a script similar to:



library(AnnBuilder)
myBaseType <- "gb"
# myDir maps the directory where you want the data package built ---
# obviously this should be changed for the directory structure on the
# linux box
myDir <- "C:/DavidsData/Annotation_Folders"

# myBase maps the file that contains the mapping of Agilent feature
# numbers to GenBank ID's
myBase <- "C:/DavidsData/Annotation_Folders/Dummy.tsv"

#use AnnBuilder internal lists of data sources
mySrcUrls <- getSrcUrl(src = "ALL",organism  = "human")

#invoke ABPkgBuilder
ABPkgBuilder(baseName = myBase, srcUrls = mySrcUrls, baseMapType =
                      myBaseType, pkgName = "Hum_Agi1A", pkgPath = myDir, organism =
                      "human",  version = "1.0",
                      makeXML = TRUE, author = list(author = "dpritch", maintainer =
                     "dpritch at u.washington.edu"), fromWeb = TRUE)

3. install the package environment

4. use it to find the IDs (can verify the ID mapping with the XML
output file, as well)

best,
-tony
