I am studying some methylation data generated by HELP assay. Its IDs are MSPI0406S00000183, MSPI0406S00000238, MSPI0406S00000239

Where can I find the annotations for these IDS? Thank you.

Hi, I am facing the same problem as you faced around 2 years ago. I wish to convert a very long list of HELP assay probe IDs into their respective gene symbols and could not find a way after searching and trying different tools for long. The only way that I found is to google search them one by one - very exhaustive as the list is really long. Is there any online tool available that I can simply upload the probe ID list and get the converted gene list (like those of DAVID)? Thanks.

It is unusual to have array data without getting the annotation associated with it, so you might go back to the array data source. However, it does look like this platform is available via NCBI GEO.

library(GEOquery)
gpl = getGEO('GPL6604')

Thank you. Is there any R package like "hgu133a.db" which can be used directly?

Not that I know of. This is not a gene-based array, so gene-based annotation packages don't make much sense in this case.
