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: sessionInfo() R version 2.10.1 (2009-12-14) i386-pc-mingw32 locale: [1] LC_COLLATE=English_United States.1252 [2] LC_CTYPE=English_United States.1252 [3] LC_MONETARY=English_United States.1252 [4] LC_NUMERIC=C [5] LC_TIME=English_United States.1252 attached base packages: [1] stats graphics grDevices utils datasets methods base other attached packages: [1] aroma.affymetrix_1.5.0 aroma.apd_0.1.7 affxparser_1.18.0 [4] R.huge_0.2.0 aroma.core_1.5.0 aroma.light_1.16.0 [7] matrixStats_0.2.1 R.rsp_0.3.6 R.cache_0.3.0 [10] R.filesets_0.8.1 digest_0.4.2 R.utils_1.4.0 [13] R.oo_1.7.2 R.methodsS3_1.2.0 loaded via a namespace (and not attached): [1] tools_2.10.1 About my data: > print(qam) QualityAssessmentModel: Name: Dataset Wooster Tags: RBC,QN,RMA,QC Path: qcData/Dataset Wooster,RBC,QN,RMA,QC/HG-U133_Plus_2 Chip-effect set: ChipEffectSet: Name: Dataset Wooster Tags: RBC,QN,RMA Path: plmData/Dataset Wooster,RBC,QN,RMA/HG-U133_Plus_2 Platform: Affymetrix Chip type: HG-U133_Plus_2,monocell Number of arrays: 950 Names: 1A2 _SS392785_HG-U133_Plus_2_HCHP-186915_, 1A2 _SS392786_HG- U133_Plus_2_HCHP-186916_, ..., YAPC_SS331347_HG- U133_Plus_2_HCHP-182915_ Time period: [not reported if more than 500 arrays] Total file size: 546.67MB RAM: 0.84MB Parameters: (probeModel: chr "pm") RAM: 0.00MB 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 -- When reporting problems on aroma.affymetrix, make sure 1) to run the latest version of the package, 2) to report the output of sessionInfo() and traceback(), and 3) to post a complete code example.
