Dear James, dear Sean, and dear Bioconductors
good morning.
Thank you for your help up to now, I really apreciate it.
I am probably a bit thickheaded, and I apologize for this, but I am
still missing something from the picture. The work instructions from
James worked excellently in my case, and I am sincerely grateful for
the patience and support I have receive.
I am nevertheless wondering how did you gain all this insight into the
GSE structure and its handling...
I have read the following documents:
- An Introduction to Bioconductor's ExpressionSet Class ( http://www.b
ioconductor.org/packages/2.5/bioc/vignettes/Biobase/inst/doc/Expressio
nSetIntroduction.pdf )
- GEOquery ( http://watson.nci.nih.gov/bioc_mirror/2.4/bioc/manuals/GE
Oquery/man/GEOquery.pdf )
- Using the GEOquery package ( http://www.bioconductor.org/packages/1.
8/bioc/vignettes/GEOquery/inst/doc/GEOquery.pdf )
...and yet I am afraid that I would have terrible headaches trying to
do what James (and Sean) guided me to, on a new dataset all on my own.
Is there any source of information on the topics that I am missing? Or
is it just the experience gathered during a painful attempts/failures-
success process?
My best regards,
yorus Marco

Oggetto: Re: [BioC] R: How to use GEOquery to extract more than the
default information from a GSE
Hi Marco,
if you set GSEMatrix=FALSE and pick what you want you will have to
create an ExpressionSet de novo.
For extracting particular annotations of the samples, for example
'characteristics_ch1' and 'source_name_ch1' as you mention, you will
want to include these in an annotated phenoData data.frame which in
turn
will be included in an ExpressionSet.
Here's a way of producing a reduced phenoData:
library("GEOquery")
gse <- getGEO('GSE9820', GSEMatrix=FALSE)
pD1 <- sapply(names(GSMList(gse)), function(gsm)
GSMList(gse)[[gsm]]@header$characteristics_ch1)
pD2 <- sapply(names(GSMList(gse)), function(gsm)
GSMList(gse)[[gsm]]@header$source_name_ch1)
pD1[,1]
##[1] "patient" "patient ID_REF: A10" "age:58"
"sex:M"
pD2[1]
## GSM247703
##"macrophages"
## now put things together
pD <- data.frame(type = pD1[1, ],
patientID = sub("patient ID_REF: ", "", pD1[2, ]),
age = sub("age:", "", pD1[3, ]),
sex = sub("sex:", "", pD1[4, ]),
cell = pD2)
phenoD <- new('AnnotatedDataFrame',
data = pD,
varMetadata = data.frame(labelDescription = colnames(pD)))
When you create the 'exprs' slot in the ExpressionSet make sure that
the
columns match the rows of this phenoData object.
HTH,

is an example of this but I am not able to find a document listing the
options and the language/naming I should use to personalize the final
file (the vignette only mentions that personalizing everything is
quite difficult, but possible anyway).

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
