[BioC] how to find the probe set ID using different CDF file?

Hello,
 
I missed this email previously, but I have an answer (I guess).
 
First of all, the MBNI Custom CDF is a new annotation of the Affymetrix CDF, so the number of probes in a probeset might be different. Additionally, some genes that were present on Affy might be gone with the MBNI Custom CDF and vice versa. Nevertheless, if you want to find corresponding probesetIDs, I guess it is best to consider the probe packages: extract the probe sequences from the affy CDF and match them with the MBNI CDF. The matches give you one (or more!) probeset IDs / probeset. Manual verification / curation of the probeset assignments is required I guess.

Hi James

it seems that nobody has answered your question because it is too vague.
What exactly do you mean by "corresponding"? Once you figure that out,
it should also become clearer how to do it.
