Hi, all: I think I am probably going to ask the question which someone already asked before and I did not pay enough attention to. My question is if there is a textual description of limma, just like affy or other package? Your help is greatly appreciated! Thanks, wenqiong

The limma vignette is not available from the "Vignettes" link from www.bioconductor.org because that link caters only for vignettes which are written in a particular markup language called sweave. If you install limma, you can type help.start() then follow the links: Packages > limma > Associated Documentation > userguide.html If you install Biobase as well as limma, you can type library(Biobase), library(limma), then openVignette("limma") Regards Gordon PS. I am old enough, pedantic enough and english enough never to call anything a "textual description". Strictly speaking a "textual description" would be a description of a piece of text. In Bioconductor it seems to mean a description written in text, which is a wonderful tautology. :)
