Dear all, I'm new to R programming and Bioconductor. Recently I'm trying to analyze the data of Arabidopsis Tiling Array using Bioconductor. However, I noticed that the CDF files should be included when importing the CEL files so that we can do the QC or RMA studies. But there's no cdf/probe package files for this tiling array ( only for ATH1). I have downloaded the files named attltiling10rattaircdf_10.0.0.tar and attltiling10rattairprobe_10.0.0.tar somewhere. May I know if these files can be used as the tiling array cdf since the R keeps displaying the message Error in getCdfInfo(object) : Could not obtain CDF environment, problems encountered: Specified environment does not contain At35b_MR_v04 Library - package at35bmrv04cdf not installed Bioconductor - at35bmrv04cdf not available If not, is there anyway I can do to generate the cdf file for this tiling array? thanks, Tao Zhen [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hi Zhen, The Arabidopsis tiling 1.0R cdf that I generated is available here: ftp://ftp.psb.ugent.be/pub/nanao/athtiling1.0rcdf_1.0.1.tar.gz this CDF contains 29670 probesets and was created on a unix environment. If you are analysing tiling arrays in R, you must make sure that you have enough memory available To make use of the package those are the instructions: In R: library(affy) library(athtiling1.0rcdf) data<-ReadAffy() data at cdfName<-"athtling1.0rcdf" Then use rma or mas5 to preprocess your data (gcrma is not possible because I did not create the probe file). Good luck with your analysis. If you have any problem with the package (installation or any), feel free to contact me. To install a R package in unix, : R CMD INSTALL athtiling1.0rcdf_1.0.1.tar.gz /path/R/libraries Best, Naira zhen tao wrote: > Dear all, > > I'm new to R programming and Bioconductor.

Hi Naira, Quick question re the CDF. Was this made using TAIR release 8 or release 7 gene set? If 7, do you have any plans to generate one for release 8?

Dear Tao Tiling arrays can be used for many things: transcript boundary mapping, new transcript discovery, DNA copy number variation, ChIP, genotyping, polymorphism discovery ... Different analysis approaches are needed for each of these questions (and only in some cases they are standardized enough that you can just run a Bioconductor package out of the box, without substantial work by yourself). You did not even tell us what you want to do. A CDF file (or package, environment) is necessary to form probe sets, needed for the rather narrow task of expression level analyses using annotated gene- or transcript structure. They will not help you for any of the tasks mentioned above.
