[BioC] ragene10st

[Marc Carlson]

Hi Philip,

The ACCNUM does not refer to the Affymetrix probe IDs, but rather to the
genbank IDs, which were not included in the construction of this
particular package (hence their absence).  For most people, this is not
going to be much of a problem (and is unlikely to be a problem at all). 
The fact that this is a chip package means that for the vast majority of
the mappings present, the Lkeys(mapName) will be Affymetrix probes
otherwise, those mappings would not have any mapped keys.

Hope this clarifies things,


  Marc

> That ACCNUM has 0 entries is weird. EntrezID entries are all found... So, you build this package on EntrezIDs and not on the AFFYIDs that are usually provided. So your library won't work properly for people whom simply download it blindly! Just to let you know. Perhaps you should consider to take it offline and to only provide it if people ask for it AND realise the problems with it?
