# Probes/transcripts/identifiers we recognize

We will automatically detect and map your probes/transcripts/identifiers to HUGO gene names. For instance, we will map Affy probe IDs to HUGO gene names so that you can enter a HUGO gene name when creating a column in the Visual Spreadsheet and we will pull up the corresponding Affy probes.

{% hint style="info" %}
You can still load your data if you do not see your identifiers listed. We will just not map them to HUGO genes for you. This means that in the visualization you will need to enter your identifiers as they appear in your file.
{% endhint %}

## FAQ

### FAQ: Xena didn't map the right probes

If it looks like we picked the wrong set of probes, please click 'Advanced' next to the 'Import' button on the last screen of the wizard to load data. You can then pick the appropriate probes.

# Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation

If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter:

```
GET https://ucsc-xena.gitbook.io/project/local-xena-hub/supported-gene-and-probe-names.md?ask=<question>
```

The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
