Hi, I'm trying to merge the data comes from two different microarray chips (hgu133a and HThgu133a). I have seen that a lot of probe sets are in common in the two chip. Have you any suggestion??

Some additional information: My data comes from two different type of microarray: hgu133a and hthgu133a I want pre-process my data to obtain only one ExpressionSet that contain the merged data. What I want to do is: - merge the two batches with combineAffyBatch function - normalize the data (for example with rma) Is this a good way to pre-process my data? Any suggest is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

That is, a given probeset "X" will behave very differently on one chip type than on another. I would try to avoid doing this if possible, but if you cannot, then you will probably have to find a statistician to help you try to adjust between these two different groups. Hopefully you will have all the things you want to compare represented well on both platforms? Otherwise your going to find yourself hip-deep in false positives. Marc
