[BioC] KEGG2heatmap - blank rows

[Lavinia Gordon]

   Dear All
   I am using KEGG2heatmap (from the annotate package) with the Affymetrix
   chicken array (chicken.db)
   With the resulting heatmap, there are a few probe names that appear as row
   names but without any colour in the heatmap.
   (I am using the Accent palette which does not contain white).
   I have looked for these probe names and they are in my ExpressionSet.  I
   thought I might be able to track down the reason by looking at the output of
   KEGG2heatmap.
   From the help example:
   library("hgu95av2.db")
   data(sample.ExpressionSet)
   KEGG2heatmap("04810", sample.ExpressionSet, "hgu95av2")
   if I do
   foo <- KEGG2heatmap("04810", sample.ExpressionSet, "hgu95av2")
   > foo
   $rowInd
    [1]  2  9  4  6  7  8  3  5  1 10
   $colInd
    [1] 13 24 17 19 10  4 26  6  7  2 16 11  9 23 14 25 12  8 15 22 21 18 20
   1  3  5
   $Rowv
   NULL
   $Colv
   NULL
   What  does  foo$rowInd  refer  to?  I have checked these indexes in my
   ExpressionSet and in the chip data and none of the returned probe names
   appear on the heatmap.
   with regards
   Lavinia Gordon.
