Hi Johannes, I would like to explain my data in detail for your deep understanding. There are three replicate data from two-channel microarray Two of them were scanned by genepix scanner and the other was scanned by agilent scanner. All of them are originated from same microarray platform( agilent chip ). Just different scanner makes them provide different outputs, but its original information is same. However, when I want to use three microarray data for the analysis using limma package, it is difficult to use built-in functions in the package to normalize and analyze them for extracting DEGs(differentially expressed genes). For example, library(limma) setwd("~~") targets_agilent = readTargets("targets_agilent.txt") targets_genepix = readTargets("targets_genepix.txt") rg_agilent = read.maimages(targets_agilent$FileName, source="agilent") rg_genepix = read.maimages(targets_genepix$FileName, source="genepix") rg_all = cbind( rg_agilent, rg_genepix ) When I tried to use rg_all object for further analysis, it provokes some problems because cbind function just concetanates the data without consideration of interal information. Please let me know your precious opinion for this beginner in this field. Thanks in advance.

Dear Sunjae Lee, I think what you are after is some kind of batch effect removal between samples run on the same platform. I can confirm you, that I am about to submit a package to Bioconductor that can be used to solve this problem. The package makes use of empirical Bayes methods to minimize batch effects. This is documented in detail in he following publication in Biostatistics: "Adjusting batch effects in microarray expression data using empirical Bayes methods" As my package is not available yet, you might be able to use the scripts and functions provided in this publication. However, you can also wait for the submission the package. Hope I could help, Andreas Sunjae LEE: > Hi Johannes, > > I would like to explain my data in detail for your deep understanding. > There are three replicate data from two-channel microarray > > Two of them were scanned by genepix scanner and the other was scanned by > agilent scanner. > > All of them are originated from same microarray platform( agilent chip > ).
