Dear all,
I have been doing pre-processing & QC of a number of CEL files (from
Affymetrix U133+ v2.0 chips), basing things loosely on this tutorial
(http://bioinformatics.knowledgeblog.org/2011/06/20/analysing-
microarray-data-in-bioconductor/), and on some past experience of
other microarray technologies.
Many tutorials seem to deal with indentification of spatial effects
but do not discuss how to handle them. As such I have been having
difficulty finding methods directed at spatial normalization in
single-channel arrays (OLIN, smida, marray and nnNorm all seem to be
written for dual-channel arrays). Can anyone please suggest an
appropriate package/method for single-channel Affy chips?
And are there cases where they should be excluded rather than
normalized?
Some examples of my spatial artefacts:

Of my 90 chips example 2 is the only one of that kind of pattern. The
rest are mostly similar in form to the other 2 and similar patterns
are seen in ~20 chips.
Thanks in advance,
Scott
