Description Usage Arguments Details Value Author(s) See Also Examples

Retrieve all Affymetrix array type available from DAVID database.

1 2	getAffyChipTypes(urlBase=DAVIDURLBase, curl=RCurl::getCurlHandle(), verbose=TRUE)

`urlBase`	the DAVID main page url. Default is DAVIDURLBase.
`curl`	RCurl handle. Default is getCurlHandle()
`verbose`	if TRUE enables diagnostic messages

When the getAffyChipTypes gets called the first time within the R session, it retrieves the set of annotation values from the DAVID web services, stores them within the DAVIDAffyChipChoices data structure and then reuses it in subsequent calls.

data frame containing (name,value) pair columns The first column is a decorated Affymetrix array name, i.e. the name which appears in the corresponding drop-down list on the DAVID web site. The second column is an actual DAVID URL address of the file containing the Affymetrix probeset IDs
