GPLs: Provides precompiled mappings of NCBI GEO platform IDs (GPLs)...

In virtualArray: Build virtual array from different microarray platforms

Description

This data object can be used to translate GPL accession IDs like "GPL570" to a Bioconductor annotation package like "hgu133plus2".

Usage

GPLs

Details

The "virtualArray" package provides tools to merge raw data from multiple microarray platforms. The source of this data might be an entry from the NCBI GEO web service using e.g. "getGEO" from the "GEOquery" package. The annotation slot of the retreived ExpressionSets is filled with a GPL entry like "GPL570" which corresponds to the Bioconductor annotation package "hgu133plus2". The "GPLs" list can be used to map between these IDs and replace the annotation slot. A reverse map can be achieved using "revmap" from the annotate package.

Value

A list of Bioconductor annotation packages (redundant) named by their corresponding NCBI GEO GPL.
