My apologies, the subject line and discussion were about the brainarray CDFs and the fact that they were now updated, and my problem is with the updates so the background seemed appropriate. I've changed the subject line now. Thank you for responding so quickly, however, using the code you suggest gives me the same error: > abatch <- ReadAffy(cdfname = "hgu133a2hsrefseq") > data.rma <- rma(abatch) Error in getCdfInfo(object) : Could not obtain CDF environment, problems encountered: Specified environment does not contain hgu133a2hsrefseq Library - package hgu133a2hsrefseqcdf not installed Bioconductor - hgu133a2hsrefseqcdf not available I got my original code from the paper referenced on the brainarray website http://nar.oxfordjournals.org/content/33/20/e175.full?ijkey=zaJMV7qU1X ANIci&keytype=ref under the section "Use of custom CDF" The previous version (2.12 and appropriate cdf) continues to work with either code. I checked help(package=...) to make sure I wasn't referencing it wong, but I don't see any problems with the names...
