Hello Everyone, I am Piotr St?pniak, B.Sc. in Biotechnology, currently under M.Sc. course at Adam Mickiewicz University in Pozna?, Poland. I am working in Polish Science Academy in microarray experiments group. I'm a newbie in R and BioC, so please forgive me if my question is easy... I'm having problem with data import to RGList or marrayRaw objects. Using the following instruction: bialkoRaw<- read.maimages( dir(pattern="gpr"), columns=list(G="F543 Median", Gb="B543 Median", R="F633 Median", Rb="B633 Median"), annotation=c("Block", "Column", "Row", "Name", "ID"), row.names=NULL) The data seems to load, but $genes table looks odd, I guess the column names are shifted right by 1 column: $genes Block Column Row Name ID 1 1 1 ERG_Operon 2078 2647 2 2 1 ERG_Operon 2078 3102 3 3 1 ERG_Operon 2078 3549 4 4 1 FLT3_Operon 2322 3994 5 5 1 FLT3_Operon 2322 4444 2635 more rows ... This I think causes printer layout to be imported wrongly and then any other try to process the data (e.g. quality tests) produce such error message: Error in if is.int(totalPlate)) { : argument is of length zero The data is obtained with ScanArrayExpress software, so I have it in gpr or csv files, both give similar errors, but loading csv files seems also to fail import values for each channel and gets only the file name headers. Marray import also fails, I will skip the info about it not to enlarge the mail unnecessarily. My R session info is as follows: > sessionInfo() R version 2.6.2 (2008-02-08) i486-pc-linux-gnu locale: C attached base packages: [1] grid splines tools stats graphics grDevices utils [8] datasets methods base other attached packages: [1] arrayQuality_1.18.0 gridBase_0.4-3 hexbin_1.14.0 [4] convert_1.16.0 RColorBrewer_1.0-2 cluster_1.11.10 [7] arrayMagic_1.16.1 genefilter_1.16.0 survival_2.34-1 [10] marray_1.18.0 vsn_3.6.0 limma_2.14.1 [13] affy_1.16.0 preprocessCore_1.0.0 affyio_1.8.0 [16] Biobase_1.16.3 lattice_0.17-7 loaded via a namespace (and not attached): [1] AnnotationDbi_1.0.6 DBI_0.2-4 RSQLite_0.6-8 [4] annotate_1.18.0 rcompgen_0.1-17 I think I should also say that these data causes import problems to any other data analysis software :( I also tried to read the printer layout from gal file, but all I got was "Block, Row, Column, ID columns not found" error. I'd greatly appreciate any help, please. Yours faithfully, Piotr St?pniak

Dear Piotr, The file extension "gpr" is short for GenePix Results file. If ScanArray Express outputs a file with this extension, you should have every expectation that is formated exactly the same as a gpr file from GenePix, and therefore you should be able to read it using read.maimages(source="genepix"). If this is not true, then ScanArray is irresponsible to use this extension. Same comments for the GAL file. It is obviously not a GAL file as defined by GenePix, otherwise it would be read using readGAL(). >From your description below, a possible explanation for the problem is that your files have an extra column with no corresponding heading, e.g., a column of row numbers. However no one on this mailing list can tell that for sure without you showing us some lines from your file. Questions: 1. Why have you set row.names=NULL? This prevents R from detecting a column of row numbers. What happens if you remove this? 2. Are these files exactly as output by ScanArray, or have they been further processed? 3. Can you post the first few lines of an example file? Best wishes Gordon PS. You posted the same question to the BioC mailing list on three consecutive days during the weekend. Please post the question just once. > Date: Sat, 31 May 2008 12:55:25 +0200 > From: " Piotr St?pniak " <piotrek.stepniak at="" gmail.com=""> > Subject: [BioC] limma and marray data import problem > To: bioconductor at stat.math.ethz.ch > > Hello Everyone, > > I am Piotr St?pniak, B.Sc. in Biotechnology, currently under M.Sc. > course at Adam Mickiewicz University in Pozna?, Poland.

Dear Gordon, Thank you for your reply. I tried using source="genepix", it did not work better than "scanarray". The following commands give: > bialkoRaw<-read.maimages(dir(pattern="gpr"), source="genepix")Error in read.table(file = file, header = TRUE, col.names = allcnames, : duplicate 'row.names' are not allowed It turnes out the format is not 100% valid GenePix, e.g. it does not have any index column, so I try this: >bialkoRaw<-read.maimages(dir(pattern="gpr"), source="genepix", row.names=NULL) Error in RG[[a]][, i] <- obj[, columns[[a]]] : number of items to replace is not a multiple of replacement length In addition: Warning message: In getLayout(RG$genes, guessdups = FALSE) : NAs introduced by coercion I tried different parameter combinations which got me to the command you've seen in the previous messages (I'm sorry for sending it 3 times...). The file is finally read, but wrongly as described earlier. Same happens to gal file: > gal<-readGAL("Bialko.gal") Error in read.table(file = file, header = TRUE, col.names = allcnames, : duplicate 'row.names' are not allowed > gal<-readGAL("Bialko.gal", row.names=NULL) Error in if is.int(totalPlate)) { : argument is of length zero To answer your further questions shortly: 2. Yes, these are the files straight from the scanner software. ScanArrayExpress also offers csv export, but reading them is another problem. They do have Index column, > bialkoRaw<- read.maimages( dir(pattern="csv"), columns=list(G="Ch1\ Median", Gb="Ch1\ B\ Median", R="Ch2\ Median", Rb="Ch2\ B\ Median"), sep=",") reads the file and the values are under correct columns but I get no printer layout read and other function to process the data gives: Error in if is.int(totalPlate)) { : argument is of length zero 3.

Dear Piotr, I can't diagnose your problem, because the shortened version of your data file that you emailed reads fine for me when I put the lines in a text file, as I show below. I used sep="" in my code because email doesn't preserve tab separators. Presumably the problem appears further into the file, perhaps near the bottom. Or else you file has inconsistent separators. Can you try the arguments nrows=2 and nrows=2640? I would also expect the csv file to read with the following: read.maimages("file.csv",columns=list(G="F543 Median",Gb="B543 Median", R="F633 Median", Rb="B633 Median"),sep=",",nrows=2640) Best wishes Gordon My code: > read.maimages("temp.txt",source="genepix",columns=list(G="F543 Median", Gb="B543 Median", R="F633 Median", Rb="B633 Median"),sep="") Read temp.txt An object of class "RGList" $G temp [1,] 5946 [2,] 5368 $Gb temp [1,] 2490 [2,] 2330 $R temp [1,] 1604 [2,] 1624 $Rb temp [1,] 683 [2,] 651 $targets FileName temp temp.txt $genes Block Row Column ID Name 1 1 1 1 2078 ERG_Operon 2 1 1 2 2078 ERG_Operon $source [1] "genepix" $printer $ngrid.r [1] 1 $ngrid.c [1] 1 $nspot.r [1] 1 $nspot.c [1] 2 attr(,"class") [1] "PrintLayout" On Mon, 2 Jun 2008, Piotr St?pniak wrote: > Dear Gordon, > > Thank you for your reply. > > I tried using source="genepix", it did not work better than "scanarray". > The following commands give: > >> bialkoRaw<-read.maimages(dir(pattern="gpr"), source="genepix")Error in read.table(file = file, header = TRUE, col.names = allcnames, : > duplicate 'row.names' are not allowed > > It turnes out the format is not 100% valid GenePix, e.g. it does not > have any index column, so I try this: > >> bialkoRaw<-read.maimages(dir(pattern="gpr"), source="genepix", row.names=NULL) > Error in RG[[a]][, i] <- obj[, columns[[a]]] : > number of items to replace is not a multiple of replacement length > In addition: Warning message: > In getLayout(RG$genes, guessdups = FALSE) : NAs introduced by coercion > > I tried different parameter combinations which got me to the command > you've seen in the previous messages (I'm sorry for sending it 3 > times...). > > The file is finally read, but wrongly as described earlier. > > Same happens to gal file: > >> gal<-readGAL("Bialko.gal") > Error in read.table(file = file, header = TRUE, col.names = allcnames, : > duplicate 'row.names' are not allowed > >> gal<-readGAL("Bialko.gal", row.names=NULL) > Error in if is.int(totalPlate)) { : argument is of length zero > > To answer your further questions shortly: > 2.
