[Bioc-devel] Oddity in hgu133plus2.db?

Wed, Nov 25, 2009 3:39 AM

I know it is a very specific case, but this seems to me like a general error:

in hgu133plus2.db package, using
as.character(revmap(hgu133plus2SYMBOL)["CD68"])
returns
named character(0)
Now, it may be that annotations change, but isn't it a mistake that
there exists an Rkey entry for the gene which links to nothing?
Usually genes with no known probesets just didn't exist in the
database at all.

Best regards
