Hi, I am attempting to read some data for a colleague however there seems to be a bug in the packages. The problem is that the data begins on line 73 but the readImaGeneHeader only scans to line 60! Is there a way to get around this using other methods? I would prefer to do it in Limma because I wish to be able to show my colleague how to do analysis with this package. Kind Regards Ben Routley [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Allowing for only 60 lines of header is a limitation of the readImaGeneHeader() function in limma. I've expanded the number of lines read to 100 in limma 1.8.23 available from http://bioinf.wehi.edu.au/limma. Ideally, the readImaGeneHeader() function is overdue for a complete re-write, but time constraints don't seem to allow it at the moment.
