[BioC] Annotation databases--unable to get annotations

[Manjula Kasoji [guest]]

Has anyone used the mogene10stprobeset.db annotation package?

I have a list of significant probeset ids that I obtained from running an analysis in the limma package. When I try to use mget() to retrieve the corresponding gene names only a couple of probesets get annotated. I've tried with several different gene lists. In a gene list of about 300 genes, only 2 get annotated at the most. The rest of the probesets get a "NA" for the annotation.

Here is my R code:

## load library
> library("mogene10stprobeset.db")

## map probe ids to gene names...

#extract ids from signifcant gene list
ids=sig.gene.list[["ID"]]

#if not in character form, change to character
ids = as.character(ids)

#retrieve gene names from annotation package for ids in signficant gene list
mget(ids, mogene10stprobesetGENENAME, ifnotfound=NA)


I've tried ENTREZID, SYMBOL, and GO, all of them return annotations just for a few probesets.

I'm using R version R 2.15.1 for Macs.

Any help would be appreciated!!

Thanks!
