Hi All, I have this targets: > ka.rest.targets SlideNumber FileNames Cy3 Cy5 1 1 Ka_Rest_Rep_1.datr Control Treated 2 2 Ka_Rest_Rep_2.datr Control Treated 3 3 Ka_Rest_Rep_3.datr Control Treated and I proceed > design <- designMatrix(ka.rest.targets,ref="Control") > design Treated 1 1 2 1 3 1 > ?designMatrix Is this correct?? I am confused because I read this in help: "There is a need for design matrices for direct two-color design and for single-channel experiments but, this version is only for reference designs." "Examples: targets <- data.frame(Cy3=c("Ref","Control","Ref","Treatment"),Cy5=c("Control","R ef","T reatment","Ref")) designMatrix(targets, "Ref")" In my case, "REF" is my control (Control)? I don't understand the difference between the Reference and Control! Thanks Marcelo Luiz de Laia, M.Sc. Dep. de Tecnologia, Lab.

In the function designMatrix(), the "reference" is any RNA source which appears on all the arrays and which therefore acts as a "common reference". Your "Control" sample obviously fits this criterion. You have a simple replicated experiment. This can be viewed both as a direct design and as a reference design. Anything works fine for this simple design. Gordon >Thanks > >Marcelo Luiz de Laia, M.Sc. >Dep. de Tecnologia, Lab.
