Dear Sean and dear bioconductors,
I am writing you to ask a source of inspiration (code pieces, notes,
references, whatever you might think appropriate) to import array
annotation and other data from the GSE I am trying to work with
(namely the GSE9820) into my eset.
I have read on GEOquery's vignette that this is actually possible,
despite being a bit tricky:
"So, using a combination of lapply on the GSMList, one can extract as
many columns of interest as necessary to build the data structure of
choice. Because the GSM data from the GEO website are fully downloaded
and included in the GSE object, one can extract foreground and
background as well as quality for two-channel arrays, for example.
Getting array annotation is also a bit more complicated, but by
replacing \platform" in the lapply call to get platform information
for each array, one can get other information associated with each
array. Future work with this package will likely focus on better tools
for manipulating GSE data" From http://www.bioconductor.org/packages/2
.4/bioc/vignettes/GEOquery/inst/doc/GEOquery.pdf Page 22 of 22
...but I can't find anywhere any hint.
Thank you in advance for your patience and support.
My best regards,
Marco
