Dear Members, I've inherited a bunch of GenePix files from an miRNA experiment. They are single color arrays, ( as opposed to 2 color as is the norm for GenePix I think). There is a subset of 7 arrays and I wish to compare a group of 4 of these to the other group of 3 and analyze differential expression between the two groups. I was hoping somebody could point me in the right direction of how I'd go about doing this with Bioconductor? Is it possible using the Limma package? Is there any code out there to assist me? I've experience in analyzing Affymetrix data using Limma and PUMA, but not GenePix, and the Limma Users Guide seems to focus on analyzing two dye experiments. I've uploaded one of the ".gpr" files to the net if anyone wants to have a look: http://frink.nuigalway.ie/~pat/2007-02-19_130_0532.gpr -Paul

Any analysis ultimately boils down to some sort of normalization, and the actual differential expression analysis. The second part in limma (lmFit, etc.) can work with any expression matrix, irrespective of whether it's 2-color or 1-color (or affy). We have been working with a miRNA array dataset recently, and we used limma to read in the GPR files and do the differential expression analysis (on one channel). For normalization, many of the standard microarray algorithms probably don't make much sense, but VSN seems to work fine. We don't really have code (beyond what's already in limma and vsn) that is generally useful; most of the work is in figuring out which rows are of interest (i.e., those representing human miRNAs), combining the replicates (you seem to have four of each), etc. I'm happy to give you more details if you are interested. -Deepayan

Hi Deepayan, Thanks for your reply. I suppose my main concern is how I should read in the data initially in order to be able to use the normal tools to analyze the data. Reading the data normally like this: RG <- read.maimages( files, source="genepix") Gives the following error: Error in RG[[a]][, i] <- obj[, columns[[a]]] : number of items to replace is not a multiple of replacement length I'm assuming this is down to the fact that the files only contain intensity data for one color rather than two? How should I go about reading the data? Thanks alot, -Paul.

You can specify your red channel like this: RG <- read.maimages(files,source="genepix", columns=list(R="F635 Median",G="F532 Median",Rb="B635",Gb="B532")) I will suggest you read limma guide. But I think your have data from Imagene package which gives one file for each channel, you can: files <- targets[,c("FileNameCy3","FileNameCy5")] RG <- read.maimages(files, source="imagene") Hope, this helps Narendra >>> "Paul Geeleher" <paulgeeleher at="" gmail.com=""> 07/05/2008 13:24:01 >>> Hi Deepayan, Thanks for your reply.

Hmm interesting. I might try introducing the extra columns into the files and specifying all the values as 0. I can't see why that shouldn't work? -Paul On Wed, May 7, 2008 at 1:39 PM, Narendra Kaushik <kaushiknk at="" cardiff.ac.uk=""> wrote: > You can specify your red channel like this: > > RG <- read.maimages(files,source="genepix", columns=list(R="F635 Median",G="F532 > Median",Rb="B635",Gb="B532")) > > I will suggest you read limma guide. > > But I think your have data from Imagene package which gives one file for each channel, you can: > > files <- targets[,c("FileNameCy3","FileNameCy5")] > RG <- read.maimages(files, source="imagene") > > Hope, this helps > > Narendra > > >>> "Paul Geeleher" <paulgeeleher at="" gmail.com=""> 07/05/2008 13:24:01 >>> > > > Hi Deepayan, > > Thanks for your reply.

It might, but Narendra's suggestion of reading the limma users guide is a worthwhile option to consider.

Doesn't seem to be anything in the users guide specific to this kind of analysis unfortunately. -Paul On Thu, May 8, 2008 at 10:31 AM, Wolfgang Huber <huber at="" ebi.ac.uk=""> wrote: > Dear Paul, > >> Hmm interesting.
