Hi,
I would like to know if I can import the data into the ddCt package in the matrix format for the analysing the qRTPCR data. If possible, how could this be done?
I have a .txt file with 260 genes (rows) and 27 samples (columns).
Best Regards,
Toufiq
Thank you David.
I am currently working with the Biomark Fluidigm qRT-PCR data. This is a raw threshold cycle (Ct) data, there are a total of 264 test genes + 8 housekeeping genes and 27 samples (columns)in the .txt format. These 27 samples are grouped into 3 timepoints (i.e Timepoint_1 = 7, Timepoint_2 = 9, and Timepoint_3 = 11). My reference samples are Timepoint_1 samples and HKs are geometric mean of 8 Hks to form Psuedogene. Basically, I would like to import the data, map the annotation/sample grouping data. After this calculate DCt, Negative DCt, DDCt, and 2(DDCt) and other statistical analysis. I would like to import this data into the ddCt package since my file is not in the standard SDM format which is required by the ddCt package. I am interested in knowing the specific function/command to load this type of data and perform the other steps.
