Dear Mike, It is my understanding that idats from Illumina's GoldenGate arrays and expression BeadChips are encrypted. The code to read in idat files in crlmm does not deal with encrypted data. To use beadarraySNP, you will need BeadStudio/GenomeStudio output from your experiment (typically one file which contains the intensities and genotype calls from all the samples you are interested in). Best wishes, Matt > Dear List, > > I have a series of golden gate cancer panel SNP data and wanted to use the > beadarraySNP package to analyse the data.
