Please help me and even answer to one question will be appreciated. I know some question may take la ong paragraph to answer. (1) is it possible to do the summary first followed by normalization on probe set level with Affy? (2) what is the advantage to do normailization first, then probe set summary compared to normalization at probe set level? (3) After running bgcorrect, normalization and summary on probe set in Affy (expresso function), I want to export the probe set data and analyze it with GS (is there another package can do the same job as GS in bioconductor)? Should I do the per chip normalization again in GS? Thanks.

LC-MS data (Nicholas Lewin-Koh) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Message: 1 Date: Sat, 13 Mar 2004 22:48:50 +0800 From: "Nicholas Lewin-Koh" <nikko@hailmail.net> Subject: [BioC] LC-MS data To: bioconductor@stat.math.ethz.ch, S.Nyangoma@cs.rug.nl Message-ID: <1079189330.2264.182616685@webmail.messagingengine.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="ISO-8859-1" Hi, To my knowledge there are only 2 packages in R specifically for MS data, mscalib on CRAN, and PROcess in bioconductor devel. The first is for MALDI tof spectrometers and assumes you have picked peaks already and works on the peaks list. The second is for seldi, but the baseline correction and peak picking are pretty generic. To process LC-MS data you have to decide how far back in the device internal processing you want to go. Personally, I have found that the mantra for mass spec data at the moment is "Don't trust vendor software". It mostly sucks. If you can get it you want to be grabbing the data stream as it is read of the column by the sensor, because it helps to warp the chromatagram from each scan so that the peaks align properly. Then you want to conver to m/z. After that comes all the signal processing song and dance, to subtract the chemical noise, make a baseline adjustment, etc. The tools for this in R are here and there and development for processing this stuff is nacent. There is much more available in matlab, which though much more expensive is mostly faster than R. The signal processing community and the chemometrics people tend to work in matlab. Note that it has been my experience that automated peak detection is an art, with more pitfalls than clustering. If you can do anything to avoid that using prior knowledge it helps. Good luck.

Since I used U133 chip set, I wonder if I can joint the U133A and B directly and import them to GS or I should do probeset level normalization first (if so, which package in bioconductor can do it) before joint them. Thanks.

I tried to read in data from both types of chips at once using data <- ReadAffy(widget=T) and then reading in 3 MOE430A and 3 MOE430B CEL files. I got the error message: "Cel file does not seem to beo of 430MOEA type" when the script tried to input data from a 430MOEB Cel file. I had imported the CDF and annotation packages for both types of chip. I am using R 1.81, Bioconductor 1.3 on a SuSe 8.1 linux system. Thanks for any advice/tips!
