While annotating a agilent microarray, I found that for few Probe IDs the there is no gene symbol, when checked for them manually in Ensembl or NCBI gene database I found that those transcripts are retired ? What does it mean ? Is the transcript is worngly annotated before or is the transcript is not a valid one ?
Quote from Ensembl: "Changes within the genome sequence assembly or an updated genome annotation may dramatically change a gene model. In these cases, the old set of stable IDs is retired and a new one assigned."
You will find more information by using the Help function:

Is there any way of identifying the exact reason why particular transcript was retired in Ensamble?
