Hi,

I use aroma.affymetrix to process Human Gene 1.0 ST Array. In the step
of using custom cdf, I want to know that could I use the regular
HuGene ST cdf from Affymetrix instead of the one provided at here?

What are the different between unsupported cdf and the regular cdf?
Could you explain what does 'unsupported' mean? Which one that I can
trust to annotate my data?

The only difference between the CDF that Affy provides and the one that you can download from the aroma.affymetrix site is that ours has been converted to binary, allowing it to be read a LOT faster. The content is identical. As far as the unsupported business goes, Affymetrix doesn't support it. They make their annotation available in a different format nowadays. However, that annotation is the same (or at least it was when I last checked it):

If I want to make my own cdf, are there some instructions?

Does this help?
