Hey all,
For the past 4 years, I have maintained a separate user (Google) group
for the ComBat R function for removing batch effects from -omic data.
In this time there have been more than 145 different posts on
different topics ranging from technical issues with the ComBat
function to issues with experimental design. The group currently has
135 members.
We have recently implemented ComBat in the Bioconductor 'sva' package
and this is now the official version of ComBat. I will still make the
ComBat.R script available on my lab website jlab.bu.edu), but we will
only support questions on the Bioconductor version. So at this point I
think its appropriate to close the ComBat group and work through the
Bioconductor mailing list.
I'm moving the group to provide better general visibility and
searchability of the threads and questions asked by ComBat users.
Also, hopefully this will lead to more people helping to answer the
nearly weekly emails I get regarding batch effects!
Thanks for your support on this,
Evan
