[Celsius-users] SN identifiers to GEO accession?

[Vince S. <vps...@ho...>]

Hi,

I would like to obtain a list of GEO accessions for a list of SN identifiers.  Is there a way to do this in batch mode that does not require clicking or a lot of processing?  This question was asked previously, but the answer involved clicking one by one on the web page output.  I can't actually get the multiple query to work properly in any case, something like this doesn't work:
http://celsius.genomics.ctrl.ucla.edu/service/cel/label?l=255;f=%2F%2FDBXREF%5B@dbspace=%27GEO%27%5D,%3B,%%d:%%a;id=SN:1005595+SN:1003038

Celsius is a great idea, it could be really useful.  I have some feature requests:

- See above, could this be implemented in the R package perhaps as a function?  

- It would be great if some of the source annotation was queryable within the R package.  In particular, most of the data is from GEO, and it would be very helpful to be able to retrieve some of the GEO sample information such as Source Name and Characteristics.

- The R queries seem to frequently time out.  It would be great if this could be fixed. 

Thanks!

Vince
