Comments.Text: Welcome to Bioinformatics.StackExchange @Min! Could you let us know where the instructions indicate that you need the **Sp20b_M_v04.cdf** file? Is this from a colleague's lab notebook, or from the *affy* package's documentation, or somewhere else? This info will be helpful in troublehshooting.

Title: Where can I find .cdf files for Affymetrix ChIP-chip data analysis?
ThreadText: # Where can I find .cdf files for Affymetrix ChIP-chip data analysis?
  
  (Asked by: username_0 on 2019-03-04)
  
  I am analysing microarray ChIP data generated several years ago. I want to use the *affy* package for R. However, in order to load the CEL files and proceed with the analysis, I need the pombe annotation file which comes under the name of **Sp20b\_M\_v04.cdf**. I have looked everywhere for this file but I am unable to locate it. Is anyone in possession of this file or know where I can download it from?

  It looks like it's in GEO here: <https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/geo/query/acc.cgi?acc=GPL10187>
  
  There is apparently a zipped copy linked at the bottom in the supplementary files.
  
  When people upload a study based on an array, there is a corresponding 'platform' record where the array details should be deposited.
  
  Edit: you will probably need to gunzip the file first, to get it into CDF format.
