Great thanks. All right, I tried it but I got these error messages: Again unable to find the file even if I ran a setQCEnvironment giving the clean name and the path to the file. > AffyQA(parameters = c("part"), raw = eset) [1] "Retrieving grouping parameters" Error in setQCEnvironment(genome) : Could not find array definition file ' sugarcanecdf.qcdef '. Simpleaffy does not know the QC parameters for this array type. See the package vignette for details about how to specify QC parameters manually. or if running qc from simpleaffy directly: > qc(eset) Error in FUN(c("AFFX-Sof-actin-3_a_at", "AFFX-Sof-actin-5_a_at", "AFFX-Sof-actin-M_a_at", : subscript out of bounds I've checked that the probe "AFFX-Sof-actin-3_a_at" exist on the array via: > x.mas5 <- call.exprs(eset,"mas5") > idx = which(rownames(exprs(x.mas5)) == "AFFX-Sof-actin-3_a_at") > idx [1] 57 > exprs(x.mas5)[idx,] Any ideas?

I had some problems with that too and found it worked when i did this # change directory to current location of qcdef file qcdef.location = getwd() setQCEnvironment("customArraycdf",qcdef.location ) if that doesnt help, I am stumped! perhaps crispin miller can help as he is the package author claire 2009/2/5 Renaud Gaujoux <renaud@cbio.uct.ac.za> > Great thanks. > > All right, I tried it but I got these error messages: > > Again unable to find the file even if I ran a setQCEnvironment giving the > clean name and the path to the file. > > AffyQA(parameters = c("part"), raw = eset) > [1] "Retrieving grouping parameters" > Error in setQCEnvironment(genome) : > Could not find array definition file ' sugarcanecdf.qcdef '.
