Hi Tao,

At least in the two examples you have given, it seems that the second 
field is just a continuation of the gene name, or description of the gene,
so it would make more sense to combine the two fields, since they refer 
to the same gene.

If a  probeset maps to more than one gene, then it would make sense to 
have the different gene names in separate fields. 

Regards,
Maria
