Hi, I am trying to use MAS5 to normalize some cel files with reduced set of probes (some probes whose PM is not significantly higher than MM is filtered), does anyone know how to do this? Does that require creating a new CDF file? thanks a bunch, -James [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Does that require > creating a new CDF file? Have you tried running mas5() from the affy package? Having never tried, I don't know, but it seems a simple enough test. If you do need to create a new cdf, you will want to use the affxparser package.

So you want *all* of the probes? Not sure where you are heading with this, but it isn't difficult to get them. I don't have the hgu133acdf installed, so for an example I will use the hgu95av2cdf: > library(hgu95av2cdf) > x <- as.list(hgu95av2cdf) > y <- sort(unlist(sapply(x, function(q) q[,1]))) > head(y) 31483_g_at16 33941_at4 33941_at5 646 647 648 31977_at2 32448_at1 38227_at12 649 650 651 > head(names(y)) [1] "31483_g_at16" "33941_at4" "33941_at5" [4] "31977_at2" "32448_at1" "38227_at12" > length(y) [1] 201800 Note that there are actually 403600 usable probe positions on this particular chip, but the other 201800 are MM probes, and have the same exact name, so we don't need those. Also note that there are 6000 probes on this chip that we ignore (there are actually 409600 rows in the exprs slot of the AffyBatch). These extra probes are the oligo-B2 probes that are on the outside of the chip, used by the scanner to align to the chip. Best, Jim > > Thanks again, > > -James > > --- On Tue, 8/31/10, James W.
