Different gen identifiers with the same gene name [HTA 2.0 microarrays]

Hello everybody.

This is the first time I use HTA 2.0 expression microarrays. I tried to looking for something on internet about this, but I haven't found anything.

After annotation of the transcript clusters I added the gene symbol (SYMBOL) and a short description of the gene the cluster represents (GENENAME) and extra information (Locustype etc.). In a second step, I filtered out the probes that do not map to a gene, i.e. that do not have a gene symbol assigned.

enter image description here

Is it normal that a gene with a different ID has the same gene name? Do I filter and keep those that are not duplicated?

I have contacted affimetrix but they have totally ignored me.

Thank you in advance

hta2.0 annotation microarrays

aren't those ID isoforms of the same genes?

that table shows Gene class/type as Gene name, definitively that is not the name

Yes. But that is how the HTA 2.0 database shows. :/

You can get the real gene name searching the ID (Havana OTTHUMT) or the gene symbol.

hi, my brother! How did you add gene sybol to the data frame. hope to receive your expaination! thank you very much

i have installed "HTA 2.0" package,but i dont know how to use it, do you have any Manual or code for it

Hi. I just saw your comment. Did you find a solution? I can copy my script if you wish.
