Hi,

I'm new here, and I'm sorry if I'll post obvious questions. I looked
throughout the newsgroup and on the aroma.affymetrix web page, but I
couldn't find the answer from my question, so here it is:

I'm trying to analyze a 950 chip dataset from Wooster et al (318
cancer cell lines in triplicate - on average). So I followed the steps
as in the web page, and arrived to the plotNuse and plotRle part.
Nothing wrong so far, and I can clearly see that some arrays are
outliers and possibly have poor quality, so I would like to remove
them for further analyses. The issue is, I don't have a clue how to
know which ones they are and how to remove them, because the plots are
too crowdy and I don't know how to see what is what and how to take it
out.

Some information:

And a final question (a very stupid one, I'm sure): once I finished my
quality controls, how do I average technical replicates?

Thank you and I beg your pardon for any silly question

Gabriele
