[BioC] Problems annotating a gene list

[James W. MacDonald]

Hi Quentin,

You might look at limma2annaffy() in the affycoretools package. It will 
take your design matrix, contrast matrix, exprSet, and MArrayLM objects 
and output HTML and/or text tables with all the probesets annotated.

This package is in the devel repository, so you will not be able to get 
it using e.g., biocLite() unless you are running R-2.3.0dev. However, it 
doesn't require the devel version of R, so you can download by hand and 
install using either the dropdown menu (if you are using win32) or R CMD 
INSTALL if you are on a Unix variant.

HTH,

Jim
