Hi All, I am in need of some basic 2-color (cDNA) microarray help. With 3-biological replicates (one of them is a dye-swap), I wish to merge ONLY the raw intensities of the 3 cDNA files. This merging should take into account of the dye-swap file too. Finally, it should produce an HTML (or, CSV) file that contains ONE raw expression against each available gene with the relevant annotation. I am not confident as to how I should script it. I did go through some packages like LIMMA, but couldn't really extract what I wanted, as they focus mainly on statistics for differential expression. Thank you ! Cheers, Santana [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Dear Santana This does not really help much, because the "normalized expression" depends on the treatment. Do both channels have the same treatment? Is this a reference design? Anyways, to do what you want, what I generally do is use cbind to merge the expression values with the annotation information and write.csv to write a comma separated table which can be read into a spreadsheet such as Excel. I do not expect to be able to do all my processing in R. However, some of the R gurus on the list can probably do everything in R. I meant to cc the list when I first wrote, and I am returning this to you.

Thanks ! Well, it is the simplest type of microarray experiment, with replicate two-color arrays of the same two RNA sources. It has its dyes swapped for one of the arrays: ------------------------------------------------------------- File cy3 cy5 ------------------------------------------------------------- a wt mu b wt mu c_DyeSwap mu wt Wonder how to go for the annotated output for my gene list (before downstream statistical analysis). User guides of LIMMA and others mainly focus on how to obtain statistics with regards to differential expression et al.

You can make a data.frame that includes the gene annotation and your values using cbind(). Then, you can use write.csv on that data.frame to make a text file.
