Where To Find Annotation File For Agilent Microarray?

I'm trying to search the Agilent website for an annotation file connecting individual features on the Whole Human Genome Microarray 4x44K, to gene symbols. However, all the search terms that I've tried on the website lead me to pdf's that don't help me very much at all. Can someone help me find what I'm looking for?

Alternatively look in GEO ; they do upload them

Hii, I want to download human gene expression 8x60K annotation file. But this code of yours didnt work for downloading this. Can you please tell me how to do it?

Hi, it should be there, please try:

Homo sapiens

# agilent_sureprint_g3_ge_8x60k
mart <- useMart('ENSEMBL_MART_ENSEMBL')
mart <- useDataset('hsapiens_gene_ensembl', mart)
annotLookup <- getBM(
  mart = mart,
  attributes = c(
    'agilent_sureprint_g3_ge_8x60k',
    'wikigene_description',
    'ensembl_gene_id',
    'entrezgene_id',
    'gene_biotype',
    'external_gene_name'))
write.table(
  annotLookup,
  paste0('Human_agilent_sureprint_g3_ge_8x60k_',
    gsub("-", "_", as.character(Sys.Date())), '.tsv'),
  sep = '\t',
  row.names = FALSE,
  quote = FALSE)


# agilent_sureprint_g3_ge_8x60k_v2
mart <- useMart('ENSEMBL_MART_ENSEMBL')
mart <- useDataset('hsapiens_gene_ensembl', mart)
annotLookup <- getBM(
  mart = mart,
  attributes = c(
    'agilent_sureprint_g3_ge_8x60k_v2',
    'wikigene_description',
    'ensembl_gene_id',
    'entrezgene_id',
    'gene_biotype',
    'external_gene_name'))
write.table(
  annotLookup,
  paste0('Human_agilent_sureprint_g3_ge_8x60k_v2_',
    gsub("-", "_", as.character(Sys.Date())), '.tsv'),
  sep = '\t',
  row.names = FALSE,
  quote = FALSE)

Mus musculus

# agilent_sureprint_g3_ge_8x60k
mart <- useMart('ENSEMBL_MART_ENSEMBL')
mart <- useDataset('mmusculus_gene_ensembl', mart)
annotLookup <- getBM(
  mart = mart,
  attributes = c(
    'agilent_sureprint_g3_ge_8x60k',
    'wikigene_description',
    'ensembl_gene_id',
    'entrezgene_id',
    'gene_biotype',
    'mgi_symbol'))
write.table(
  annotLookup,
  paste0('Mouse_agilent_sureprint_g3_ge_8x60k_',
    gsub("-", "_", as.character(Sys.Date())), '.tsv'),
  sep = '\t',
  row.names = FALSE,
  quote = FALSE)

Kevin Blighe I have a question. I want to download human miRNA microarray annotation file. Can you please tell me how to do it? I have tried it a lot, but didnt get the things out of it.

Hi, which array version is it?

written by Kevin Blighe Kevin Blighe

Thanks, but I need to know the exact version of the array - Agilent have released many, and each will have a different annotation. Basically, there is likely an annotation TSV file on their website, if you can search there please?

The information may also be in biomaRt (as per my code above), but I would really need to know the array version from you.

This is probably what you are looking for. Pick Human Genome, Whole

An easier way that has [probably] only come about since this question was posted is via biomaRt in R.

You can build annotation tables for Agilent 4x44 arrays for mouse and human as follows:

require(biomaRt)

Homo sapiens

# agilent_wholegenome_4x44k_v1
mart <- useMart('ENSEMBL_MART_ENSEMBL')
mart <- useDataset('hsapiens_gene_ensembl', mart)
annotLookup <- getBM(
  mart = mart,
  attributes = c(
    'agilent_wholegenome_4x44k_v1',
    'wikigene_description',
    'ensembl_gene_id',
    'entrezgene_id',
    'gene_biotype',
    'external_gene_name'))


# agilent_wholegenome_4x44k_v2
mart <- useMart('ENSEMBL_MART_ENSEMBL')
mart <- useDataset('hsapiens_gene_ensembl', mart)
annotLookup <- getBM(
  mart = mart,
  attributes = c(
    'agilent_wholegenome_4x44k_v2',
    'wikigene_description',
    'ensembl_gene_id',
    'entrezgene_id',
    'gene_biotype',
    'external_gene_name'))

Mus musculus

# agilent_wholegenome_4x44k_v1
mart <- useMart('ENSEMBL_MART_ENSEMBL')
mart <- useDataset('mmusculus_gene_ensembl', mart)
annotLookup <- getBM(
  mart = mart,
  attributes = c(
    'agilent_wholegenome_4x44k_v1',
    'wikigene_description',
    'ensembl_gene_id',
    'entrezgene_id',
    'gene_biotype',
    'mgi_symbol'))

# agilent_wholegenome_4x44k_v2
mart <- useMart('ENSEMBL_MART_ENSEMBL')
mart <- useDataset('mmusculus_gene_ensembl', mart)
annotLookup <- getBM(
  mart = mart,
  attributes = c(
    'agilent_wholegenome_4x44k_v2',
    'wikigene_description',
    'ensembl_gene_id',
    'entrezgene_id',
    'gene_biotype',
    'mgi_symbol'))

You can view other Agilent tables accessible via biomaRt like this:

listAttributes(mart)[grep('agilent', tolower(listAttributes(mart)[,1])),]
                                name                            description
