[BioC] Does illuminaHumanv3BeadID.db correspond to the Illumina HT-12 chip

You are using the correct package.  Note that this annotation package (and
most others available from BioC) only contains information for non-control
probes.  Maybe the probes in question are controls?  You can get a list of
control BeadIDs for Human v3 chips using the following commands - check to
see whether any of these match up with the ones in your top table.

library(beadarray)
data(ExpressionControlData)
ExpressionControlData$Humanv3[,1]

I hope this helps.  Best wishes,

Matt
