Yes, you are right. I can convert probe sequences into nuIDs easily. But the
author of lumi has done a mapping of the probe sequences to the RefSeq
database and made a annotation package that maps Illumina nuIDs to whatever
Identifier. I want to have a consistent annotation for several chips and I
think the probe sequence is most reliable as all other identifiers have
flaws such as some missing and some multiple hits.
