Help with microarray annotation

Dear all, I have received a tab separated file with probeset and thre column with gene expression. This matrix comes out from from old microarray study with SurePrint G3 Mouse Gene Expression v2 8x60K Microarray. I would like to add two extra column with gene annotation: GENE_ID and gene name. any quick suggestion? Thank you

Marco

Hi, You should always look for the annotation file that usually comes with the utilized microarray platform.

In your case, a quick search for example in GEO, yields the following page with related files, which I think can solve your problem:

Platform GPL21163 A quick view of the annotation file with information such as 'probe_id', 'locuslink_id', 'gene_name', etc are displayed at the bottom of the page.
