[ensembl-dev] get Illumina probesets via api

[Nathan Johnson]

Hi David

You are right in that you need to handle probe and probesets independently, this has always been the case.

You could potentially have a single point of access if you use the DBEntryAdaptor directly:

	DBEntryAdaptor::fetch_all_by_name($transcript->stable_id);

However, this would get all the DBEntry objects for that transcript, and you would have to filter out the Probe/ProbeSet entries and then fetch them via their respective adaptors. I think this is a much less efficient way of accessing the data, but does make information about the xref available via DBEntry->linkage_annotation.

If you haven't already seen the examples script, you can find it here:

	ensembl-functgenomics/scripts/examples/microarray_annotation_example.pl

I hope this helps.

Thanks

Nath
