I have 100 affy arrays and I got an "out-of-memory" error message when I try to batch-read all of them simultaneously. On the other hand, it is really inefficient to read them one by one. Since I have a specific list of genes that I want to read, can I use ReadAffy or some other functions to read the subset of genes directly from .cel files? For a simple example, I only want to read five genes and I know their probe set ID's. Can anyone help? Thanks.

The efficient way is probably to read them one by one (or 10 by 10, or whatever number your memory let you do), and extract and store the probe set of interest each time (function 'probeset'). You can merge the probe sets (see 'class?ProbeSet') Example: l <- list.files(".", "\.cel$") ## list of CEL files all.ppsets <- vector("list", length=length(l)) for (i in seq(along=l)) { abatch <- read.affybatch(filenames=l[i]) all.ppsets[[i]] <- probeset(abatch, c("foo123_at", "foo456_at")) } ## now you just have to merge them... > > Can anyone help?

Look at the code for justRMA in the release version of affy. It is much less memory intensive to iteratively put a cel file in an affybatch, extract the PM data to a matrix and then overwrite the affybatch with the next cel file. You could easily modify the code to only extract the PM data you are interested in into the matrix. Alternatively you could simply use justRMA to get expression values and go from there.

you can use read.probematrix directly (its what justRMA calls). it reads either only pm, only mm, or both without creating an AffyBatch.

i forgot to mention, this is in the devel version. On Sat, 18 Oct 2003, Rafael A.
