[BioC] annaffy annotation problem (hgu133plus2)

[aedin culhane]

Hi Johannes
Maybe have a look at the EnsEMBL, EnsMart annotation. It permits 
visualization of the probe matches to the sequence which can be handy. 

I think your probe matches to:  
http://www.ensembl.org/Homo_sapiens/geneview?gene=ENSG00000142178

You'll prob need to follow the Affy links out from there, 
Hope this is useful
