[BioC] beadarray package question

[Mark Dunning]

Hello,

Thanks for your questions. The first relates to a new piece of
functionality added to beadarray that has not been explained in depth
yet.

1. The names Humanv3, Humanv2, Humanv1 etc are used to identify the type
of chip being read in. This is so we know the ids of the control probes
on the chip (which change between versions and organisms). The
information about the control probes is stored with the package so there
is no need to download extra information. It is completely separate to
the annotation Illumina provides and the Bioconductor packages. The
naming convention we used is chosen to match the names of the annotation
packages available from Bioconductor. For example if you have a
HumanWG-6 v3 Expression array you would specify annoPkg="Humanv3" when
you load data with readIllumina and then use the
illuminaHumanv3BeadID.db annotation package later on.


2. Can you list the files that are in the working directory where you
are trying to read from? Each sample should have a _Grn.tif and .txt
file for a bead-level analysis

Regards,

Mark

PS posting the result of running the command sessionInfo() is also
useful so we know what version of packages you are running.
