This part describs the work we have done for other projects at
Data-Faber or some other places.

Mapping of probes on a cDNA chip to various data items found in the
LocusLink site was conducted for Dr. Yee Hwa Yang at UC Berkly on
March 20, 2002.

Mapping of the Affymetrix probids on U6800 and U95Av2 chips to
LocusLink ids was conducted for Dr. Adolfo Ferrando at Dana-Farber
Cancer Institute on March 19, 2002.

Dr. David Perkings at the Laboratory of Mocular Immunology, Brigham
and Women's Hospital requested a service of annotating the mgu74a gene
chip. In one of their projects, they wanted to find out the expression
of genes responsible for eight functions defined with the GO
terminology for their studies using microarray. In a prilimimay trail,
they tried to annotate about 100 genes manually. That process took
them about 3 months to finish and the result appeared to be
promissing. They wanted to expand to a larger data set but the work
required is rather daunting. 

Dr. Perkings became to be aware of our database for microarray
annotation through a talk given by Dr. Robert Gentleman (Early
Dec. 2001) and appraoched us (late Dec. 2001) for the possibility of
providing annotation for the entire mgu74 mouse gene chip. Two
meetings were held between Drs. Perkings and Gentleman's group (one in
late Dec. 2001 amd one in late Jan. 2002) to work out the details and
by Feb. 1, a file containing annotation for gene on the mgu74a gene
chip that can be mapped to GO function terms was provided to them.

Another two files mapping genes on 11KB chip were generated and ship
to Dr. Perkings lab on March 1, 2002.
