Hallo everyone! I have analysed 108 Genepix arrays using the arrayMagic package. However, I have a problem: every second array is a repetition of the previous array with dye-swap (normal: 1, 3, 5, ... dye-swap: 2, 4, 6, ...). How can I correct the logratios output (the writeToFile function) in order to get the correct values for the dye-swapped chips? Thank Balazs Gy?rffy

The dye-swap columns need to be multiplied by -1 if they are log ratios -----Original Message----- From: Dr_Gyorffy_Balazs [mailto:zsalab2@yahoo.com] Sent: 06 July 2004 10:35 To: bioconductor@stat.math.ethz.ch Subject: [BioC] dye-swap and arrayMagic Hallo everyone!

Hallo Balazs, ## you could do the following: ############################## yourDataObject <- resultList$exprSetRG logRatios <- getExprSetLogRatio(yourDataObject) nrOfSlides <- dim(exprs(logRatios))[2] odd <- seq(1, nrOfSlides, by=2) exprs(logRatios)[,odd] <- (-1) * exprs(logRatios)[,odd] exprs2excel(logRatios) ## or alternatively, when using writeToFile: ############################################ greenOdd <- getIndGreen(yourDataObject)[odd] redOdd <- getIndRed(yourDataObject)[odd] bothOdd <- c(greenOdd, redOdd) exprs(yourDataObject)[,bothOdd] <- (-1) * exprs(yourDataObject)[,bothOdd] writeToFile(resultList$arrayDataObject, yourDataObject) Best Regards Andreas Dr_Gyorffy_Balazs wrote: > Hallo everyone! > > I have analysed 108 Genepix arrays using the arrayMagic > package.

Hi everybody. This is definitely Off-Topic, but I'd like to have an opinion from the many biologist (but not only!) that populate the list, about the following problem: A group of biologists is willing to study gene expression in ovarian cancer tissues relative to normal ones. As the normal ovarian epithelium is single layer, it's quite hard to get enough RNA. So they are actually going to compare normal ovarian cell lines grown in vitro versus patological tissues. I feel a bit confused about this. Wouldn't be better to amplify the RNA from normal tissues? Any other options? Any insight will be very appreciated. TIA, Stefano
