Hi bioconductor users,
I am a PhD student working on stem cells from human umbilical cord
blood. I
got data from our sorted cells relying on the HG-U219 platform from
Affymetrix. What I want to do is to compare our data to data from
public
databases such as GeneExpressionOmnibus or ArrayExpress, but
unfortunately
these data are all based on the HG-U133 platform.
So my question is: What would be the simplest approach to achieve
this? What
would be the best approach to achieve this?
I'm thinking of 2 scenarios:
First scenario:
1. Get an expression table for both datasets (U219 and U133)
2. label both datasets with "comparable" identifiers, eg UniGene Id or
GeneBank A#
3. get new expression tables with only entries present in both
datasets
Second scenario:
1. get raw data of both datasets
2. import CEL files from U219 and convert it to U133 format
3. combine both datasets into 1
4. do normalization of all data together
Please tell me it is possible, and if then how to do it. I'm pretty
sure it
is possible, but I'm a R and BioC novice and don't know every
function/package.
Thanks in advance, Andreas
PS: Is it problematic that there are only perfect match probes on the
HG-U219 and no MMs?
