Hi, I've been downloading raw CEL files from the gene expression omnibus, and have been trying to process them -- i'd like to account for batch effect when computing differential expression, but the authors didn't provide the information explicitly in their annotations. Is this information stored/retrievable through the CEL files through Bioconductor? [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Not a direct answer, but you might look at the sva package which does not rely on externally-defined batch effects.

Hi, Some time ago I came across these lines of code, that could be of help: http://bios.ucdenver.edu/images/a/a1/Affy_headerinfo.txt Never used it myself, though.

Look for the 'datheader' entry. James.

Hi I haven't tried this in a while, but afaIcs the 'readAffy' function in the 'affy' package automatically populates the 'ScanDate' field in the resulting AffyBatch object, which you can access with syntax like protocolData(a)$ScanDate where I have assumed that 'a' is an AffyBatch.

Hi Brian, affxparser has a function called readCelHeader. library(affxparser) dates<-rep(0,length(files)) for (i in 1:length(files)){ datheader<-readCelHeader(ff[i])$datheader dd<-gsub(".*([0-9]{2,2}/[0-9]{2,2}/[0-9]{2,2}).*","\\1", datheader) dates[i]<-dd } Bye Rob ________________________________________ From: bioconductor-bounces@r-project.org [bioconductor- bounces@r-project.org] On Behalf Of Brian Tsai [btsai00@gmail.com] Sent: Friday, January 25, 2013 12:23 AM To: bioconductor at r-project.org Subject: [BioC] is it possible to find sample batch # in CEL files?

We are getting batch date using the following code:

pData(protocolData(a)[sampleNames(a),])$ScanDate

Or this code to process all the samples: 

a$Batch <- sapply(pData(protocolData(a)[sampleNames(a),])$ScanDate, function(x){substr(x,1,10)})

If you only use protocolData(a)$ScanDate it might depend on the sorting and will assign some dates incorrectly.
