[BioC] Affymetrix Mouse Promoter array / pdInfoBuilder

[Hans-Ulrich Klein]

Hi All,

I have ChIP-chip data based on the Affymetrix Mouse Promoter platform. I 
built a "pd.mm.prompr.v02" package with the pdInfoBuilder functions and 
read in the CEL files using the oligo package.
I get stuck with the genome coordinates of the probes provided by my 
"pd.mm.prompr.v02" package. The pdInfoBuilder takes a "bpmap" file that 
can be downloaded from affymetrix.com. The newest file has coordinates 
for the "NCBI36" mouse assembly and thus is outdated. Ensembl (and so 
biomaRt that I want to use for genome annotation) uses NCBI m37 assembly.
Is there a convenient way to integrate newer coordinates or sequences 
provided as text files into the annotation package created by 
pdInfoBuilder? Working with a large data.frame would perhaps be to slow. 
BTW, does anyone know where I can download the probes' sequences? I have 
not found them on affymetrix.com yet.

Best,
Hans-Ulrich
