The probe-GB mapping from Affymetrix that was used for release 1.8 was dated
Dec. 19, 2005. Six files were used to get unified probe to Entrez Gene mapping:
1. probe-GB mapping from Affymetrix
2. probe-UniGene mapping from Affymetrix
3. probe-Entrez Gene mapping from Affymetrix
4. probe-Entrez Gene mapping from DCHIP
5. probe-Entrez Gene mapping from U. Michigan
6. probe-Entrez Gene mapping from another source (EA)

1 is the primary source, and 2-6 are supplimental sources. 1-3 are all dated Dec
19, 2005. 4-6 are pretty old files (>1 years old).

thanks
