[BioC] Methods to combine U133A and B?

[Adaikalavan Ramasamy]

The easiest way is to prefix each probeset ID with A or B indicating
U133A and U133B. Suppose dataA and dataB represents your expression
values from U133A and U133B respectively, then

 rownames(dataA) <- paste("A.", rownames(dataA), sep="")
 rownames(dataB) <- paste("B.", rownames(dataB), sep="")
 stopifnot( identical( colnames(dataA), colnames(dataB) ) )
 newdata         <- rbind( dataA, dataB )
 write.table(newdata, file="output.txt", sep="\t", quote=FALSE)

If you are thinking about calibrating U133A results to U133B, then the
problem becomes more difficult. I asked a related question to this and
you can search for the mailing list archives for the keywords "combining
HGU133 chips".

Regards, Adai.
