DAVIDQuery (version 1.32.0)

getAffyProbesetList: Retrieve Affy probeset IDs from DAVID.

Description

For a given Affymetrix microarray chip, retrieve Affy probeset IDs from DAVID. Optionally, a menu is used to pick the chip name.

Usage

getAffyProbesetList(chipname = NULL, menu = TRUE, verbose=FALSE)

Arguments

chipname

Full name or regular expression.

menu

Select chipname from a menu (default=TRUE)

verbose

Print a bit of tracing information along the way (default=FALSE) .

Value

Character vector of probeset names with 'chipType' attribute containing the chip name.

Details

If menu==TRUE, DAVID's table of chip names is retrieved. If chipname is a regular expression, then the menu (if requested) is subsetted accordingly. When the user selects or specifies one of the names, the associated file of probeset names is retrieved, again directly from DAVID, not from Affymetrix.

Examples

head(getAffyProbesetList("Human Genome U133 Plus 2.0", menu=FALSE, verbose=TRUE))
## Not run: 
# length(getAffyProbesetList("133|95"))
# ## End(Not run)
