Dear All, I'm downloading some files using ArrayExpress rawdata1 = ArrayExpress( "E-TABM-25",path="/tmp/tmp1/", save=TRUE) What I like to do now is create the rawdata object using the downloaded files, i.e. rawdata2 = readArrayExpress("/tmp/tmp1") So rawdata1==rawdata2. Is it possible to do this? Thanks Colin -- Dr Colin Gillespie http://www.mas.ncl.ac.uk/~ncsg3/

Hi Colin, You can use the two functions getAE (to download the data) and subsequently the function magetab2bioc (please have a look at the help and vignette) from the ArrayExpress package. The ArrayExpress function is a wrapper for these two functions so the two outputs will be the same. If you want to create an object from local MAGE-TAB files, you can you the function magetab2bioc. I hope that helps.
