The plotting in BASE is somewhat rudimentary and may sometime feel inadequate. However to create an impressive plot tool is a whole project itself. If someone knows of a free plot tool it may be possible to integrate it to BASE in a similar fashion as MeV is integrated. Of course, this is lot of work and someone needs to volunteer to do the work. In the meantime, your plot can be realized with the current BASE using a plug-in available for download at the BASE plug-in site.
Download and install http://baseplugins.thep.lu.se/wiki/se.lu.onk.MergeBioAssay The plug-in will allow you to merge the bioassays to two averaged bioassays. These can the be merged another round with the same plug-in using the "ratio of ratio" average method. After the second merge you'll have one bioassay usable with the plot tool; plot ch1 vs ch2! Simple, isn't it! I have not tested the above myself but it should work :-) I'll try it myself one day when I have time. Other ways to move forward is to create the bioassayset containing your assays, export the matrix and use another plotting tool. Sometimes one have to accept the fact that one tool cannot do everything ... or write and share your own tool.
