Sorry about the email. My mailbox got infected with a virus and is sending
out weird emails from my sent email to all. 

Thanks

Hi,

I have also only just started using bioc and I would be very  
interested in doing some of the tutorials you mentioned, especially  
the ones for affy data, as I am using these chips.
Where can I find these tutorials?

Thanks for your help,
Judith

Most are here:

http://www.bioconductor.org/workshops/

You might also want to start with the vignettes, which can be accesssed 
by typing openVignette() after loading e.g., the affy package. You can 
also step through the code in a vignette by loading the tkWidgets 
package and then typing vExplorer() at an R prompt.

Alternatively, you can browse the vignettes here:

http://www.bioconductor.org/docs/vignettes.html

Best,

Jim

I am not sure you need to write a package for any of this. There are 
already packages in BioC that are designed to normalize (marray, limma) 
and make comparisons (limma, multtest, factDesign) using cDNA arrays.

I suppose there may be some functionality you might like that is not 
implemented in these packages, but I would recommend starting with the 
existing packages. IIRC, all of these packages have vignettes, so that 
would probably be the best place to start.

Best,

Jim

We also use custom arrays.  It suffices to write a little function to load
the data into the data structures provided by one of the "major players"
like limma or marray.  Then, all of the tools associated with those packages
are available.

The other package to look into, if you are really bioconductor-centric, is
AnnBuilder which allows you to build an annotation package for your array.

I suspect you will find that there is no column called "controltype" in 
your GPR files. Perhaps check the capitalisation.
