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.
Sincerely,
Sunjae LEE

(hopefully) without problems." I don't really see a way (nor a good
reason) for combining the different platforms first and then doing the
pre-processing.

> In the limma package, it supports reading microarray data from
different source such as agilent(agilent feature extraction),
genepix(genepix pro) format by fuction read.maimages().

normalizeBetweenArrays function and analyze differentially expressed
gene through lmFit, eBayes function, it produces some problems of not-
compatible integrations due to diffrenence of its sources. ( I just
want to integrate microarray data from agilent and genepix format as
soon as possible )
