How to retrieve the genes associated to an RNA PAXgene gene expression dataset from GEO?

In the past I have been working with a gene expression dataset generated with Affymetrix and I was able to use the getBM() Bioconductor function to retrieve the genes associated to it.

These are the lines of R code I used to use:

# Gene list
mart <- useMart("ENSEMBL_MART_ENSEMBL")
mart <- useDataset("hsapiens_gene_ensembl", mart)

thisAnnotLookup <- getBM(mart=mart, attributes=c("affy_hugene_1_0_st_v1", "ensembl_gene_id", "gene_biotype", "external_gene_name"), filter="affy_hugene_1_0_st_v1", values=rownames(thisGSetExprss), uniqueRows=TRUE)

And everything worked. Now I am working on another microarray dataset, generated with PAXgene, and I am trying to understand how to retrieve the genes associated to it. The platform they used is RNG-MRC_HU25k_STRASBOURG, that I have not found in BioMart.

What can I do?

Thanks!

Hey Davide, I never heard of that array, but perhaps you can get the annotation that you need from Here? - it's the main page for this array on GEO.

Thanks Kevin. I saw that page but I cannot understand how to access those data header fields. Do you know how I can do that?

I was able to solve my own problem by just checking the getGEO() function: I realized that the getGPL must be set to TRUE.

if (!requireNamespace("BiocManager", quietly = TRUE))
    install.packages("BiocManager")
BiocManager::install()

BiocManager::install("GEOquery")

GSE_code <- "GSE11947"
getGEOSuppFiles(GSE_code) 
gset <- getGEO(GSE_code, GSEMatrix =TRUE, getGPL=TRUE)
