converting probes robes to gene IDs

Hi,

I have performed differential expression analysis and have a excel file with p values.

Does anyone know how I might convert the probes to gene ID, so I know which genes were differentially expressed.

Thanks!

Google it or use the search function. As said before, these array questions have been asked extensively over the last decade. Show effort and find them.

I have over 16,000 probe names which makes it difficult to google. Ok thanks, I will have a look.

Google for a thread explaining how to do automated lookup. That has been asked many tomes before. For sure don’t google each probe…c’mon.

Did you also happen to know how to create a character vector in R with 16384 values?

It should not be an issue?

vec <- paste0('var', 1:16384)
str(vec)
chr [1:16384] "var1" "var2" "var3" "var4" "var5" "var6" "var7" "var8" "var9" "var10" "var11" "var12" "var13" "var14" "var15" "var16" "var17" "var18" "var19" ...

Ok thanks, I have a list of 16384 probe names in a text file that are unique and not sequential. Is there are way of converting this column/file to a character vector?
