[BioC] AnnBuilder package: problem with gbNRef

[Nianhua Li]

Hi, Cameron,

Maybe you want to try baseType="refseq". I used the sample baseFile from 
your
email with this script:
==================================================================
library(AnnBuilder)
mySrcUrls <- getSrcUrl("all", "Homo sapiens")
mySrcUrls[[7]]<- "file:///home/cameron/microarray_data/annotate"
mypkg <- function(pkgPath, version) {
    ABPkgBuilder(baseName="mybase.txt",
                 baseMapType="refseq",
                 srcUrls=mySrcUrls,
                 pkgName="mypkg",
                 pkgPath=pkgPath,
                 organism="Homo sapiens",
                 version=version,
                 author=list(
                   authors="R. Cameron Craddock",
                   maintainer="R. Cameron Craddock <email at email.email>"
                   )
                 )
}
mypkg(getwd(), "1.0.0")
==================================================================

And here is the result:
==================================================================
 >ibrary(mypkg)
 >mypkg()

========================================================

What AnnBuilder does for your inputs is:
(1) Use your "mixture of GenBank Accession and Ref Seq" to find the 
Entrez Gene ID
(2) Use the Entrez Gene ID to find other annotations.

If your base type is "gbNRef", it use
ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/gene/DATA/gene2accession.gz for GB to EZ mapping. 
If your
base type is "refseq", it use 
ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/gene/DATA/gene2refseq.gz for
mapping. You may want to check those files manually to see whether all your
input IDs are included. If your input has mix ID types, then you have to get
Entrez Gene IDs manually.

hope it helps
