How To Convert Gene Names From Agilent Id To Ncbi Ids?

Question

[syed.nuruddin]

I have performed microarray expression analysis from the sample of Sheep brains by using Agilent ovine microarray. Now I have Agilent gene ID and gene accession number but it seems that DAVID is not able to recongnize these genes. Can you help me by providing suggestion about how I can translate these genes name to homologue genes (Human /Bovine) names or symbol?

I haven't worked on this problem but I remember coming across a blog answering similar question recently. You should at the least get some pointers. http://gettinggeneticsdone.blogspot.de/2012/03/video-tip-convert-gene-ids-with-biomart.html

Good point, I also thought of that first, but Ensembl doesn't have sheep (Ovis aries) genome.

You don't say which platform you are using, but it might be available in GEO. Here, for example, is GPL14112: Agilent-019921 Sheep Gene expression microarray 8x15K. The data table contains official gene symbols and Genbank accession IDs, which should work in DAVID.
