Hi, I was wondering whether it was possible to only import the first few samples of an array using the lumiR or lumiR.batch function. -- output of sessionInfo(): > sessionInfo() R version 3.0.1 (2013-05-16) Platform: x86_64-apple-darwin10.8.0 (64-bit) locale: [1] en_US.UTF-8/en_US.UTF-8/en_US.UTF-8/C/en_US.UTF-8/en_US.UTF-8 attached base packages: [1] parallel stats graphics grDevices utils datasets methods base other attached packages: [1] lumi_2.12.0 Biobase_2.20.1 BiocGenerics_0.6.0 loaded via a namespace (and not attached): [1] affy_1.38.1 affyio_1.28.0 annotate_1.38.0 AnnotationDbi_1.22.6 beanplot_1.1 BiocInstaller_1.10.3 Biostrings_2.28.0 colorspace_1.2-2 [9] DBI_0.2-7 GenomicRanges_1.12.5 grid_3.0.1 illuminaio_0.2.0 IRanges_1.18.3 KernSmooth_2.23-10 lattice_0.20-15 limma_3.16.7 [17] MASS_7.3-26 Matrix_1.0-12 matrixStats_0.8.5 mclust_4.2 methylumi_2.6.1 mgcv_1.7-22 minfi_1.6.0 multtest_2.16.0 [25] nleqslv_2.0 nlme_3.1-109 nor1mix_1.1-4 preprocessCore_1.22.0 R.methodsS3_1.4.4 RColorBrewer_1.0-5 reshape_0.8.4 RSQLite_0.11.4 [33] siggenes_1.34.0 splines_3.0.1 stats4_3.0.1 survival_2.37-4 XML_3.95-0.2 xtable_1.7-1 zlibbioc_1.6.0 -- Sent via the guest posting facility at bioconductor.org.

Hi Chris There is another function: lumiR.batch for you purpose. You can define the samples you want to input in the "sampleInfoFile" parameter. Check the help of "lumiR.batch" for more details.
