Hi Dan, my apologies for the slow reply. How many different PC3M samples were used? Only 1? So you want a single-column heatmap (with xxxx rows, 1 per spot?) Then just make a limma model then use makeContrasts(PC3M-Knockdown, design) then once you've done lmFit, you'll find the relative expression values in the "coefficients" part of myFitObject. Access it via myFitObject$coefficients Alternatively, if you want one heatmap column per PC3M you hybridized, you can calculate them by hand: +go to your MA object, and use the log2 relative expression levels from MA$M (you have one column per microarray). +To compare Knockdown against PC3M, - use array 1_2 data as is: MA$M[,2] - calculate Knockdown-PC3M a second time via arrays 1_3 and 3_4: MA$M[,10]+MA$M[,3] - calculate Knockdown-PC3M again via arrays 2_2 and 1_1: -MA$M[,1] -MA$M[,5] - and then again via arrays 3_1 and 3_2 heatmap(cbind(MA$M[,2], MA$M[,10]+MA$M[,3], -MA$M[,1] -MA$M[,5], ...))
