The
NetAffx Download Engine
is a
JMP Scripting Language
(JSL) script that facilitates the identification and download of annotation, library, map, or other accessory files used with Affymetrix arrays.
Once the selected files have been downloaded, a
Download Verification
window provides confirmation of the download and the location of the files. To illustrate, an annotation file associated with the Affymetrix Latin Square experiment was downloaded from NetAffx (See
NetAffx Download Engine
for more information.). This file was generated using the
HG_U95A
chips. The
HG_U95A.na31.annot.csv
file was downloaded and placed into the
Genomics\ThirdPartyAnnotation\Affymetrix
directory.
Files downloaded from NetAffx are formatted as comma-separated value text files (with a
.csv
suffix) and must be imported into JMP Genomics saved as SAS data sets before they can be used in other JMP Genomics processes. To facilitate this import process, the
Import Affymetrix Annotation CSV Files
process is automatically opened with the downloaded file and other parameters preloaded.
