[BioC] beadarray package - analysis of bead summary level data

[Yehudit Hasin [guest]]

Hi all

My name is Yehudit, I am from UCLA. I am new to this forum, and to microarray analysis - hope someone could help:) 
Goal: trying to analyze Illumina HT v4 arrays, but I have access only to the bead summary data, and was hoping to use "beadarray" package for analysis (should I use something else?). 
The tutorial on sample data worked just fine, so I moved to my data. I used GenomeStudio Gene expression to create 2 files:
dataFile -data not normalized, no background subtraction. File includes TargetID, ProbeID + average signal, number of beads, beads std error and detection p value for each array. 
qcFile - control probes with the same info. 
These were read into BSData:

> dataFile="5donors_nonorm_nobgd.txt"
> qcFile="5donors_nonorm_nobgd_cotrolprobe.txt"
> BSData = readBeadSummaryData (dataFile = dataFile, qcFile = qcFile,controlID = "ProbeID", sep="\t", skip = 0, qc.skip = 0, qc.columns = list(exprs = "AVG_Signal", Detection = "Detection Pval"))
Warning message:
In readQC(file = qcFile, sep = qc.sep, skip = qc.skip, columns = qc.columns,  :
  controlIDs non-unique: 4 repeated entries have been removed.

I ignored the warning message (as it seemed to remove the duplicates anyway), and tried to use channel to create another ExpressionSetIllumina object for plotting (as in tutorial). Here I got stuck:
> channelNames(BSData)
[1] "G"

> BSData.ul<-channel(BSData,"G")
Error in assayDataNew(exprs = exprs(object)[, selArray], se.exprs = se.exprs(object)[,  : 
  'AssayData' elements with different rowNames
In addition: Warning messages:
1: In eltRowNames == rownames(assayData[[elt]]) :
  longer object length is not a multiple of shorter object length
2: In eltRowNames == rownames(assayData[[elt]]) :
  longer object length is not a multiple of shorter object length

Another question that I can't seem to find the answer to is how to create a second channel with log transformed data in the BSData?

I am running Rstudio 0.96.122 with R 2.15.
Thank you in advance, any help would be greatly appreciated!
