Hello I am trying to use the ddCt package which was developed by Jitao David Zhang, Rudolf Biczok and Markus Ruschhaupt. My problem is that it seems the package is not able to read the exported file, the one contains the individual ct Values, from ABI 7500 RT-PCR instrument. When I execute the package, it says your file is not .SDM. That's true, as my file is SDS, but this is the only possibility I have got in the machine. However I tried to play a bit with the text format in excel to make SDS as similar as the SDM in the package-example file. It worked indeed, but it is not a practical way I believe. Is there any other option to make this package able to read my SDS files, or to convert this file to SDM. Many thanks. [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hey, You could try ReadqPCR or HTqPCR, both enable you to read in SDS files I believe (ReadqPCR has a read.qPCR function, and there is an explanation of how to do so in HTqPCR). If you were to have problems using your version of SDS file with ReadqPCR, I would be very grateful if you could email me your file (annonymsed if you wish of course) so I can alter ReadqPCR appropriately.

Deam Jim, thanks a lot. I'll try this out and let you know.

Hi dear Fadi, The ddCt package currently only supports SDS format converted to TXT file format. HTqPCR should do the job - we will consider implementing the functionality in ddCt as well.
