Dear members: I'm learning Limma following the "LIMMA" User's Guide". When I went to input the spotType file, the guider said: ***** The spot types file is used by the spotStatus() function to set the status of each spot on the array, for example > RG$genes$Status <- spotStatus(spottypes) ***** But this command didn't work. Error messenger shows there is no this function. I also checked limma package and didn't find this function. I think this function is useful. Has this function (spotStatus) been deleted or its function can be done by other command? Thanks Yi

Sorry that was an error in the released User's Guide. Best to upgrade to a more current limma version from http://bioinf.wehi.edu.au/limma Gordon > Thanks > > Yi
