[BioC] Illumina BeadArray Annotation

Hi Paul,

We are making major overhaul of the annotation workflow. Previously, 
sequences from the FANTOM database were all reported as NA. To fix the 
problem, here is the new workflow:

1) The mapping from a 50-mer to a gene is done by BLAST.
2) The most recent release of the RefSeq (this week) is used.
3) We have an automatic trigger of the BLAST when a new verion of RefSeq is 
out.
4) The potnetially cross-hybrdized probes are identified and documented.

Cheers,

Simon

I have used the lumi package recently and did not get this error (see
below). However I did note that the lumi annotation was somewhat
incomplete. May of the nuid's just returned "NA" when I asked for the
actual annotations (description or LL or SYMBOL). So I also used the
Illumina provided annotation file to fill in these gaps.

Strangely the web site introducing the NUID's did have actual
annotations for some of these problem niud's. So I don't think the
lumiMouseV1 on the Bioconductor web site has the latest work???

How does your version differ to what I have used..(see below)

Cheers
Paul
