Hi list,

Please see the following:

> package.version('hgu133a')
[1] "1.12.0"
> get('202990_at',  hgu133aGENENAME)
[1] "phosphorylase, glycogen"                                 " liver (Hers disease, glycogen storage disease type VI)"
> get('202100_at',  hgu133aGENENAME)
[1] "v-ral simian leukemia viral oncogene homolog B (ras related"
[2] " GTP binding protein)"
