Hi everyone I will be given certain illumina micro array gene expression data in couple of weeks. I am new to illumna microarray gene expression analysis. So I need to clear certain basics. I read certain research paper where they mentioned for analysis purpose lumi and beadarray from bioconductor is mostly used. My question is for raw data what will the format which I will get ? I means what is the format or files are required for illumina microarray data analysis. Also when I was reading about "lumi " I came accross example.lumi which is used in lumi tutorial my question is how I will get this .lumi data. Any one please help. Thanks
You need to talk to your sequencing center to see what format they will be giving you. There are multiple formats that they could give you, so you need to check with them first.
For lumiQ , for normalization and further analysis what input files I need to give.
