Hi,

I am trying to analyze mouse exon array moex10stv1 using exonMap and xmap.

I have downloaded xmapcore_mus_musculus_60.tar.gz from
http://xmap.picr.man.ac.uk/download#mmxmapcore,set up a local mysql database
and environment as instructed.

After obtaining a list of probes that are significant using limma, I ran the
following exonMap functions to convert the probe ID to exon ID and
transcript ID, but encountered following errors.

##### connection is successful
xmapConnect("mouse")
### sigs are a list of probes
sig.exons <- probeset.to.exon(sigs)
Error in mysqlExecStatement(conn, statement, ...) :
  RS-DBI driver: (could not run statement: PROCEDURE
xmapcore_mus_musculus_60.xmap_probesetToExon does not exist)
sig.transcripts <- probeset.to.transcript(sigs)
Error in mysqlExecStatement(conn, statement, ...) :
  RS-DBI driver: (could not run statement: PROCEDURE
xmapcore_mus_musculus_60.xmap_probesetToTranscript does not exist)

Looks like the mapping tables are missing. If that is the issue, where
should I download the missing mapping tables?

Thank you very much for your help!

Best regards,

Julie
