Description

probesetlink(AffyStruct, PS) opens a Web Browser window displaying information on the NetAffx Web site about a probe set specified by PS, a probe set index or the probe set ID/name, and AffyStruct, a structure created from an Affymetrix CHP file or Affymetrix CDF library file.

URL = probesetlink(AffyStruct, PS) also returns the URL (linking to the NetAffx Web site) for the probe set information.

probesetlink(AffyStruct, PS, ...'PropertyName', PropertyValue, ...) calls probesetlink with optional properties that use property name/property value pairs. You can specify one or more properties in any order. Each PropertyName must be enclosed in single quotation marks and is case insensitive. These property name/property value pairs are as follows:

probesetlink(AffyStruct, PS, ...'Source', SourceValue, ...) controls the linking to the data source (for example, GenBank or Flybase) for the probe set (instead of linking to the NetAffx Web site). Choices are true or false (default).

Note

The 'Source' property requires the GIN library file associated with the CHP or CDF file to be located in the same folder as the CDF library file.

probesetlink(AffyStruct, PS, ...'Browser', BrowserValue, ...) controls the display of the probe set information in your system's default Web browser. Choices are true or false (default).

URL = probesetlink(AffyStruct, PS, ...'NoDisplay', NoDisplayValue, ...) controls the return of the URL without opening a Web browser. Choices are true or false (default).

Note

The NetAffx Web site requires you to register and provide a user name and password.
