Hi, Sorry - this sounds like a rather elementary question - but is there any way I can read in selected columns into the marrayRaw object using read.genepix? (e.g. % > B532+2SD) Instead of performing quality flagging in GenePix, I was wondering how to achieve the same thing in R. Thank you!

See function read.maimages() and the section QualityWeights in the limma package. You can read in any weight functions or flags that you can calculate from the GenePix files, i.e., RG <- read.maimages(files,source="genepix",wtfun=myweightfun) where myweightfun is any function which you have defined which takes Genepix data from one array as a matrix or data.frame and computes from it a column of flags or quality weights. These weights then become part of the component RG$weights Note that read.maimages() produces an RGList object which is essentially equivalent to a marrayRaw object. You can transform it to an marrayRaw object if you want.

I naively tried with weights of 0 and 1, but it didn't work as expected.

I am not sure what you mean by "ignore some lines". Please explain further what you did and what you expected to happen which didn't. Gordon >Regards, > >yves

I zero-weighted flagged spots and spots for unwanted genes. This resulted in about 600 genes to consider on each array, out of 4096. Then, the result of normalizeWithinArrays is strange, the final coef vs. lodds more so. (However, P-values and B are much better :) ). Same for weighting-out only flagged genes, keeping 'bout 1/3 of them. As I'm just starting playing with statistic tools, I don't know what is expected and what is clearly wrong. > > Gordon > >> Regards, >> >> yves

In my honest opinion, throwing out almost all your data from a microarray experiment is crazy unless you have decided that there is something seriously wrong with the array. If you really want to do this, then please use normalizeWithinArrays with method="loess" rather than the default. You've thrown out almost all your data so there really isn't enough left to expect to be able to do normalization by print-tip groups.

My basic flawed methodology was to find differentially expressed genes in one group, then re-read the arrays for another group, lather, rince, repeat.

Fixed in limma 1.2.3. Gordon
