Though I have used R for a few years, I am starting a project where this is my first real use of Bioconductor and I am having a problem reading expression data from files. The files are created by an Applied Biosystems 7900HT machine. I found the ABarray package, but that only claims to work with AB1700 data. On a lark, I tried to use it for my data, but got an error Error in scan(file, what, nmax, sep, dec, quote, skip, nlines, na.strings, : line 2 did not have 3 elements which seems consistent with a file not being in the right format. Can anyone tell me if there exists a package that can read this data into an ExpressionSet? Or has anyone even used Bioconductor with data from this, and, if so, what needs to be done to import the data? -- Brian Diggs Senior Research Associate, Department of Surgery, Oregon Health & Science University

Hello Brian, wait, is your data from a microarray or a qPCR plate? I think the 7900HT machine is what Applied Biosystems use with the TaqMan Low Density Cards. If so, you can use the package HTqPCR for reading in an processing the data. The basic data structure there is a qPCRSet object, which is similar to ExpressionSet, only designed for qPCR data. If my memory is failing my regarding the 7900HT and you actually have microarray data, then you should be able to read them into R using e.g. the package limma.

Greetings Having just gone through a similar process, I found it depends a lot on how the data were processed by the SDS software if you have 7900HT data. Do you have the original *.sds files, or *.sdm or some other format? I read the original *.sds files into the RQ manager software, set the window to be 'Plate Centric' and then I could export 'Results' and the files had the format expected by HTqPCR. These were not the settings I got when I first started the software and it took some trial and error to figure it out.

The data is from Taqman Low Density Arrays and is qPCR data. I am not doing the runs myself, though I have access to the person who is. We are still working out details in workflow. The files I have been getting thus far are, I think, SDS files. They have a .txt extension, but the first few lines are: SDS 2.3 AQ Results 1.0 Filename TLDA-M10-21T_ALL cDNA042110 PlateID Assay Type Absolute Quantification Run DateTime 4/21/10 1:28:40 PM I don't have a copy of the RQ manager software myself, but I know it is on the computer running the machine. I'll see about getting a copy of it for myself or getting some time to do the conversion on the original computer and see about importing the data using HTqPCR::readCtData then. >> >> HTH >> \Heidi >>> >>> >>> >>> Though I have used R for a few years, I am starting a project where this >>> is my first real use of Bioconductor and I am having a problem reading >>> expression data from files.

So if you have qPCR data you're better of using HTqPCR or some other package designed for qPCR. It looks like you have standard SDS format. In that case you don't need to do any conversions to read the data into HTqPCR. If you have the latest version, 1.1.4, there's a parameter called "SDS" in readCtData. If you set that to TRUE it should work.

Some SDS export settings will produce it (i.e., the plate-centric view) and some won't in favor of ddCt and RQ. The header data shows up in them all.

However, I now realize that I have version 1.0 of HTqPCR, probably because I am still on (the as of today no longer current) R 2.10.1 and Bioconductor 2.5. I'm going to wait for the new R 2.11.0 binaries to propagate to my local mirror and for the release of Bioconductor 2.6 (which I understand happens a few days after a release of R) so that I don't have switch to the development versions just to get the latest HTqPCR. I'll see if I can import the data directly without any further manipulations after the update.

Greetings I have just upgraded R to 2.11, Bioconductor to 2.6 and HTqPCR to 1.2. I am working with data from mouse miRNA experiments on the 7900HT using what I believe are stock ABI cards. Each experimental treatment consists of two distinct cards and there are four treatments for a total of four pairs. There are 4 common controls on each member of the pair (MammU6) but they are otherwise unique. All of the features on the first card are unique (except for the MammU6 control) and the second card has a couple of hundred features in duplicate and a four or so controls repeated four times. What would be the best way to create the qPCRset object? I have tried to concatenate the files by hand and read them in with read.delim and create the qPCRset object by hand. I have tried readCtData(...,SDS=TRUE,sample=c("sample_label")) and combined the two qPCRset objects with rbind() and four samples with cbind(). I have tried to read all the samples in one file. At some point, each one of these approaches fails in the downstream processing. Before I start posting error messages, I thought I would see if anyone has any recommendations. Any suggestions will be welcomed.

Hello Michael, I haven't tried working with data spanning multiple cards, but my $0.02 are: - Combining files by hand (either pairwise or all together): Wouldn't be my favourite method, since it involves manual work (*shudder*) - Combining qPCRsets with rbind and cbind: Probably a better option, since you don't necessarily want to normalise the two different types of ABI cards together, but rather do it in two batches before combining them. Depends on the data I guess. Either way, if any of this fails in the downstream process, then feel free to send your code + error messages to the list. Whatever bugs are creeping around in HTqPCR, I need to fix them!
