Hi,
I am the maintainer of oneChannelGUI,
concerning gene-level annotation for exon array, oneChannelGUI uses an internal annotation, builded parsing the netaffx annotation data via AffyCompatible package. The function buildingLocalAnnotation() produces a R object containing a data frame with the following columns for gene-level data:
PROBESETID ACC SYMBOL DESCRIPTION CYTOBAND
The internal annotation is updated when a new release of netaffx annotation is avilable. Users can build the annotation themselves with the previously described function.
Cheers
Raffaele
P.S. oneChannleGUI also provides an internal annotation for exon-level probesets.
This internal annotation will be replaced by three annotation packages, now present in the devel branch:
