Hello,

I am trying to pre process a dataset using the RMA function of the Oligo package:

library(oligo)

# Read in the CEL files in the directory
celFiles <- list.celfiles()
affyRaw <- read.celfiles(celFiles)

eset <- rma(affyRaw)

This code is giving me the error:

Error in (function (classes, fdef, mtable)  : 
  unable to find an inherited method for function ‘probeNames’ for signature ‘"GeneFeatureSet"’

I am not sure what is wrong. Please advise on how it should be fixed.

Hi Jo,

can you please let me know the results of the command

sessionInfo()

right after you get the error, just so I can investigate the origin of the problem and propose a fix?

Many thanks, benilton

Can you please start a brand new R session and not load the affy package? Just start a new session and go with:

library(oligo)
celFiles = list.celfiles()
affyRaw <- read.celfiles(celFiles)
eset <- rma(affyRaw)

This issue can be issued by having the affy package loaded along with oligo.

Do note that it isn't a problem to have both packages loaded, but you just have to specify which version of rma() you want. You do this using the :: operator. To get the oligo version you just call oligo::rma(), and if you want the affy version you use affy::rma().
