probesetlink
Purpose
Link to NetAffx Web site
Syntax
probesetlink(AFFYStruct, ID)
URL = probesetlink(AFFYStruct, ID)
probesetlink(..., 'Source', SourceValue)
probesetlink(..., 'Browser', BrowserValue)
URL = probesetlink(..., 'NoDisplay', NoDisplayValue)
Description
probesetlink(AFFYStruct, ID) displays information from the
NetAffx Web site about probe set ID from the CHP or CDF structure
AFFYStruct. IDcan be the index of the probe set or the probe set name.
URL = probesetlink(AFFYStruct, ID) returns the URL for the
information.
probesetlink(..., 'Source', SourceValue) when Source is true,
links to the data source (e.g. GenBank, Flybase) for the probe set.
probesetlink(..., 'Browser', BrowserValue) when Browser is
true, displays the information in the system Web browser.
URL = probesetlink(..., 'NoDisplay', NoDisplayValue) when
NoDisplay is true, returns the URL but does not open a browser.
