I have downloaded some CEL files from GEO, and wish to annotate probe id's with AILUN. Can someone advise me about the most time-efficient way of extracting the probe id's from the CEL files? Is there for example some grep command that could do the job? I'm unfortunately not familiar enough with UNIX to figure this out..

Extracting probe id's
I assume that if you have .CEL files the data is from Affymetrix arrays.
Have a look at the Affymetrix website
as well as the Bioconductor website and mailing lists.
Affymetrix usually releases annotations for their arrays. Even if you want to do your own annotations, the Affymetrix files are csv text files, which you can open in Excel, and the first column in the files is usually the probe set identifiers.Last edited by mastal; 07-14-2013, 11:55 AM. -
Thanks! Will look into this.Comment

Tumors contain complex mixtures of cell populations that evolve in response to treatment and host-specific factors. Tissue biopsies provide only static snapshots of a tumor’s state. But what if we could follow that evolution over time using a minimally invasive technique?
Liquid biopsies can detect tumor-derived material circulating in the bloodstream, providing a way to study treatment response, detect emerging resistance, and discover new biomarkers. Circulating...10-14-2026, 09:55 AM -
Researchers using sequencing and genomics tools often have to make trade-offs. They can choose between speed or scale, short reads or long-range information, or targeted panels or a view of the whole transcriptome. New technologies that have been released this year are built to address those tough choices.
We asked six companies the same four questions to learn about their latest products. The new technologies bring a lot to the table, including rethinking sequencing...
