displaying gene symbols not gene names in heatmaps

[AP]

Hi,

I am using DChip for analyzing MOE430.2 arrays. Everything works as
described and I am generating heatmaps after SD filtering and fold-
change comparison. Finally I would want to display the heatmap with
gene symbols instead of gene names to save space while making
figures. How do I do that? Any help would be appreciated or else I
will have to hand edit all the names to symbols and that would take
ages.

Best regards.

In the Array gene info .xls file change the gene description to gene
symbol. Its the 4 th column of the file that dCHIP displays. Then in
all analysis you will get the gene symbol.

Thanks, will try this trick. It will really save a lot of manual
editing I was planning on doing.
Cheers,
