[BioC] a problem with Metadat package: hgu133a2

221770_at is mapped to BE964473 by the chip manufacture and thus to Hs.333958 
according to UniGene. BioC builds the annotation packages base on NCBI and does 
not guarantee that the annotation will agree with that from other sources. It is 
totally up to you whether to trust NCBI or NetAffx.

 It has the same
