RePROBE: Workflow for Revised Probe Assignment and Updated Probe-set Annotation in Microarrays.

ABSTRACT: Commercial and customized microarrays are valuable tools for the analysis of holistic expression patterns, but require the integration of the latest genomic information. This study provides a comprehensive workflow implemented in an R package (rePROBE) to assign the entire probes and to annotate the probe sets based on up-to-date genomic and transcriptomic information. The rePROBE package can be applied to available gene expression microarray platforms and addresses both public and custom databases. The revised probe assignment and updated probe-set annotation are applied to commercial microarrays available for different livestock species, i.e., chicken (Gallus gallus; ChiGene-1_0-st: 443,579 probes and 18,530 probe sets), pig (Sus scrofa; PorGene-1_1-st: 592,005 probes and 25,779 probe se
