Hi,
I have been searching for nearly two days for a solution to the
following
problem without finding satisfactory answers:
I am working on the analysis of a HG-U133_Plus2 Chip. Can I mask for
certain
probesets single Oligos such that the expression, p and fold change
values
are calculated based on the remaining oligos?
A better description of my problem and the background. We are handling
a
cross-species experiment having hybradized rna from tupaia on the
human
chip. This resulted in fairly low expression signals. If we just
forget
about all the other putative problems in analysing the result I think
it
seems reasonable to say, that in many cases only some of the probeset
oligos
will have hybridized satisfyingly. So the idea is masking some of the
oligos
by some criteria and calculate the results only based upon subsets of
the
probesets. The problem is: If I set even only one single oligo to NA,
the
values calculated for the corresponding probeset won't be calculated
but set
to NA. Most of the threads I found concerning the masking problem
handle the
question of an autpmated or corrected form of masking. But there seems
to be
no available information about our case. Has anyone done something
like that
before? I'm sure there will have to be some manual programing. But the
major
question is: Does anybody see a possibility to mask the single oligos
on a
top level like fixing the affybatch structure? Or do I have to change
every
single function to treat NA values in the correct form?
thanks for your help,
Benjamin
