[BioC] Coercion lumi/minfi objects

[Aileen Bahl]

Dear all,

I used lumi to analyze my 450k data. Now, I want to use the Houseman  
algorithm to correct for the cell composition. As far as I read, the  
implementation in minfi covers several changes of the algorithm for  
the 450k platform. Therefore, I would like to use this package instead  
of changing the original code by hand. However, while trying to use  
minfi, I faced the problem of transforming my MethylumiM object to the  
required RGChannel object. I already found the coercions.R from  
Bioconductor but this gives me an error because the full OOB  
intensities are missing. Could you please provide some help on how to  
make this transformation in both directions (MethylumiM to RGchannel  
and the other way around)?

Thanks in advance,
Aileen
