Hi Paul:



Thanks a lot for your question. We actually discussed with GEO
administrator about what is the best way to submit data using custom CDF
files. They suggested a simple and effective approach 1) use the
standard platform name for the AffyGeneChip 2) add the actual CDF used
in the platform field.



An example is GSE6306:



Platforms (1)


GPL4557


Affymetrix
GeneChip Human
Genome U133 Array
Set HG-U133A [CDF:
Hs133A_Hs_UG_3]





I believe you can also add a web link next to the custom CDF name to
point to our website or the bioconductor website for the specific custom
CDF used.



Best,



Fan

Hi Paul,





Thanks a lot for using our custom CDF.





We don't have any plan to upload those custom CDFs to GEO because
there

are too many types and we keep releasing new versions.





Best,

Manhong
