I am having problems reading in some publicly available chromosome X titration Nsp chip CEL files. The data are available from the Affymetrix website: http://www.affymetrix.com/support/technical/sample_data/copy_number_da ta.affx I have not modified the data in anyway. Here is what happens when I try to read the data: > library(affxparser) > path <- "./rawData/3X/Mapping250K_Nsp/" > pathnames <- list.files(path=path, pattern="[.](cel|CEL)$", full.names=TRUE) > pathnames [1] "./rawData/3X/Mapping250K_Nsp//NA04626_NSP_R1.CEL" [2] "./rawData/3X/Mapping250K_Nsp//NA04626_NSP_R2.CEL" [3] "./rawData/3X/Mapping250K_Nsp//NA04626_NSP_R3.CEL" [4] "./rawData/3X/Mapping250K_Nsp//NA04626_NSP_R4.CEL" > hdr <- readCelHeader(pathnames[1]) terminate called after throwing an instance of 'affymetrix_calvin_exceptions::UnableToOpenFileException' Process R aborted at Tue May 13 15:01:55 2008 As you see R aborts. The same failure happens when I try to load in any of the other CEL files.

Did you check and see if you could open those files with any other tool/editor? You could just try and open them and read them using standard R tools to see if that works (if they are binary CEL files then you will just get junk from readLines, but that isn't the issue, you just want to know if they can be opened from R). Your R is out of date, and this sessionInfo is not correct, as you should have had affxparser attached and it is not. Please don't do that, mixing and matching error messages and sessionInfo output makes life hard for anyone that wants to help.

FYI/for the record, they are in the *.DTT files (basically a *.zip archive split in many files). It is quite tedious to extract the files if you don't have the right tools, but it is still possible with a basic Unix setup. See http://groups.google.com/group/aroma-affymetrix/web/mapping250k-nsp- mapping250k-sty and the reference to Page 'Affymetrix multi-part DTT/ZIP archives' for the details. > > > > > > > I have not modified the data in anyway.

There is currently no exception handling at the native-code level in affxparser causing it to core dump on bad files. It's on the to do list but with low priority. FYI, I've got those files as well and I can read the perfectly well using affxparser v1.11.3: library(affxparser); path <- "rawData/Affymetrix_2006-Chromosome_X/Mapping250K_Nsp/"; pathnames <- list.files(pattern="[.]CEL$", path=path, full.names=TRUE); hdrs <- lapply(pathnames, readCelHeader); Since it is quite tricky that to extract the CEL files from the DTT files, you might have got something wrong there. You might also have downloaded the DTT, D02, D03, ... files in text mode and not binary mode (adding/removing extract bytes). My notes on http://groups.google.com/group/aroma-affymetrix/web/affymetrix-multi- part-dtt-zip-archives might shine some light on your problem. For your troubleshooting, here is are some details (make sure to have the latest version of 'digest' installed): library(digest); x <- lapply(pathnames, FUN=function(pathname) { c(basename(pathname), file.info(pathname)$size, digest(file=pathname)) }); x <- as.data.frame(matrix(unlist(x), ncol=3, byrow=TRUE)); colnames(x) <- c("filename", "bytes", "md5"); print(x); filename bytes md5 1 NA01416_NSP_R1.CEL 65743954 edce95d22481a133bcadb4faa79eb8d5 2 NA01416_NSP_R2.CEL 65701910 89291d7fb32b43ce6a9c83716d3db747 3 NA01416_NSP_R3.CEL 65727988 fba34620e18b6b3de8ff3a394ed0e313 4 NA01416_NSP_R4.CEL 65730078 0b26c2ac467fda36182855eca1e005e5 5 NA04626_NSP_R1.CEL 65693986 e720285a271506ea79bcc067feb90066 6 NA04626_NSP_R2.CEL 65725339 e7934222ecd4b0f9f46bcea27aa53549 7 NA04626_NSP_R3.CEL 65703014 7300b841c8b7eafdd73f6272de7e551d 8 NA04626_NSP_R4.CEL 65712493 64a9c11f8bc268ea17632f23264f0be1 9 NA06061_NSP_R1.CEL 65741243 51cae8fcdf3761ef4ce5d68ef980dfce 10 NA06061_NSP_R2.CEL 65703467 01a19363f226765b5c3b10cd5607dc98 11 NA06061_NSP_R3.CEL 65721991 9fdc58f8036457caa3551bc9eb8cd046 12 NA06061_NSP_R4.CEL 65712766 e7fa2d9adf599fd29b80c121b7e4dfe7 Hope this helps Henrik > > > > That suggests that you may not have read permission on them.

Thanks for your replies. I've managed to solve the problem although im still not sure why the other files were corrupt. The data Henrik has referred to is indeed the data that I extracted from the Affymetrix webstie - the chromsome X data in the form of DTT files. Initially I used the Affymetrix Data Transfer Tool to extract the CEL files on a windows based machine. I then transferred these CEL files over to my main linux machine, however somewhere during the transfer process they became corrupt. I can say this because I am able to successfully read in the CEL files in R on my windows machine and I get exactly the same file information as Hendrik has shown. So instead of transferring the files, I followed Hendrik's tutorial on extracting the CEL files from the DTT files in UNIX and it has worked to perfection! Thanks so much for your help. That was very useful.
