This way, you will always get the correct version of a given BioC package for your version of R. Here is a link to the MergeMaid summary page for the 1.8 release which was designed for R 2.3.x. You should be sure to read through the vignette. http://bioconductor.org/packages/1.8/bioc/html/MergeMaid.html + seth

Hi Susana, You can find previous versions of BioC here: http://www.bioconductor.org/download/oldrelease/ Alex ------------------------------------ Alex Lam PhD student Department of Genetics and Genomics Roslin Institute (Edinburgh) Roslin Midlothian EH25 9PS Phone +44 131 5274471 Web http://www.roslin.ac.uk -----Original Message----- From: bioconductor-bounces@stat.math.ethz.ch [mailto:bioconductor-bounces at stat.math.ethz.ch] On Behalf Of SKALKO at clinic.ub.es Sent: 09 October 2006 09:53 To: bioconductor at stat.math.ethz.ch Subject: [BioC] MergeMaid version Dear all, We want to combine two datasets, one coming from Human U133a arrays, and the other coming from PLUS2 arrays. Initially we attempted with combineAffybatch package, and apart that we had serious problems with the mas5 obtaining of expression values from the combined object, we read recently at this list that a best scheme is to normalize studies separately and put them together with some tool as MergeMaid. WeI did not find a clear way to proceed with this package on the web, and, at this moment we do not want to change the version of R used at the lab, that is 2.3.1. When we downloaded the current MergeMaid version we had this message: ---- > library(MergeMaid) Loading required package: survival Loading required package: splines Loading required package: Biobase Loading required package: tools Welcome to Bioconductor Vignettes contain introductory material. To view, simply type 'openVignette()' or start with 'help(Biobase)'. For details on reading vignettes, see the openVignette help page. Loading required package: MASS Error in lazyLoadDBfetch(key, datafile, compressed, envhook) : ReadItem: unknown type 25 In addition: Warning message: package 'MergeMaid' was built under R version 2.4.0 Error in get(mname, where) : recursive default argument reference ---- could we download another version of the package in order to continue working with R.2.3.1? And perhaps the authors could give us a more detailed scheme of the process to follow for the merging?
