[BioC] Normalization between arrays for common reference, time course and direct two color designs

Hi Jenny,

Thanks a lot for your help.

I used following code: 

> MA <- MA[order(MA$genes$ProbeName),]
> x <- unique(MA$genes$ProbeName)
> MA.norm$genes$spotrep <- NULL

> for (i in 1:length(x)) {
     y <- which( MA$genes$ProbeName == x[i] )
     MA$genes$spotrep[y] <- 1:length(y)
     }

Error in `$<-.data.frame`(`*tmp*`, "spotrep", value = c(1, 2, 3, 4, 5,
: 
        replacement has 314 rows, data has 44202

"44202" is my total rows.  The "314" is total number of negative
duplicated probes (all have same names).  They are at the first 314 rows
after probes being ordered according to their ProbeName

I checked order of MA and contents of x, they are correct.  

Could you explain the function of "MA$genes$spotrep <- NULL" code here?


Thanks a lot,

Weiyin

Hi Weiyin,

Sorry - the object name in the code is arbitrary, so 'MA.norm' is a
MAList 
object with your data in it. Besides changing $ID to $ProbeName as you
did 
below, you need to change 'MA.norm' to the name of your MAList. I
probably 
should have specifically said something like: "if your normalized data
is 
in a MAList object named 'MA.norm', and your spot ID names are found in 
MA.norm$genes$ID, then this code should work."

Note that this code does not average duplicate spots. Instead, it
arranges 
them with spacing =1 so you can use the 'duplicateCorrelation' function 
before lmFit, which is better than averaging the spots. See the 
Within-Array replicate spot section of the limma vignette for an example
of 
how to do this.

Cheers,
Jenny
