Hi I want to read in each array at beadlevel separately, but when I do this I get the following error: > B13Data<-readIllumina(arrayNames=c("4194720030_F"),textType=".txt",bac kg roundMethod + ="none",offset=0,normalizeMethod="none",metrics=FALSE,useImages=TRUE,t ar gets=targets) Found 1 arrays Error in seq.default(3, length(tmp), by = 3) : wrong sign in 'by' argument > sessionInfo() R version 2.6.2 (2008-02-08) i386-pc-mingw32 locale: LC_COLLATE=English_New Zealand.1252;LC_CTYPE=English_New Zealand.1252;LC_MONETARY=English_New Zealand.1252;LC_NUMERIC=C;LC_TIME=English_New Zealand.1252 attached base packages: [1] tools stats graphics grDevices utils datasets methods [8] base other attached packages: [1] illuminaRatBCv1_1.1.0 beadarray_1.6.0 affy_1.16.0 [4] preprocessCore_1.0.0 affyio_1.6.1 geneplotter_1.16.0 [7] lattice_0.17-4 annotate_1.16.1 xtable_1.5-2 [10] AnnotationDbi_1.0.6 RSQLite_0.6-7 DBI_0.2-4 [13] Biobase_1.16.3 limma_2.12.0 loaded via a namespace (and not attached): [1] grid_2.6.2 KernSmooth_2.22-22 RColorBrewer_1.0-2 Can someone explain what I've done wrong?

Hi Alice, Thanks for your email. This is a bug, which should be fixed in beadarray 1.7.4. Most arrays we see (those from SAMs and WG6 chips) are named using the convention chipID_row_column, and this information is stored along with other processing options in the arrayInfo slot of a BeadLevelList. Your arrays look to be named as chipID_row, and when readIllumina() attempts to store something for column, you get the error below. I guess this naming convention is used for human/mouse 8 arrays?
