Hello, I am now analyzing Affymetrix mouse 430_2 array, and need clarification for the following issues. 1) how to summarize the probe expression to the expression level of transcript/genes? We are interested in the gene expression. I know that for human 1.0 ST gene array, we can use oligo package to get transcript expression. And for illumina array, there are only few probes designed for each gene, so we can only look at the probe level. For this mouse 430_2 array, there are usually 11 probes. I am thinking that using rma may not be enough. 2) and add annotation thereafter? For the transcript level annotation, I have used the following code before. But not sure for this mouse array, is there a similar way or similar transcript database to do such? I know there is a database called mouse4302.db. ID <- featureNames(geneCore2) Symbol <- getSYMBOL(ID,"hugene10sttranscriptcluster.db") fData(geneCore2) <- data.frame(ID=ID,Symbol=Symbol) Any input would be very appreciated! Thank you very much in advance. Thanks, Xiayu [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

As we have passed through time, the number of probes per probeset has continually fallen, to the point now that the Exon arrays (and HTA, for that matter) have only four probes per probeset (or fewer). The Gene ST arrays when summarizing at the transcript level have more, in general, but that is simply because Affy combined exon probesets together. If you summarize the Gene ST arrays at the probeset level, you have mostly four or fewer (!) probes per probeset. So the old style 3'-biased arrays have in comparison a luxurious number of probes for rma() to summarize. You can use oligo for these arrays, or affy if you prefer. You will get identical results. > > 2) and add annotation thereafter? For the transcript level > annotation, I have used the following code before.

Hi, Jim Thanks a lot for your prompt reply and detailed explanation. You are always very helpful. So did you mean that I can use either of the following to get transcript/gene expression for the mouse 430_2 array and other 3'-based arrays? oligo: geneCore <- rma(mydata, target = "core") affy: rma(mydata) Thanks, Xiayu -----Original Message----- From: James W.

From ?rma: ## S4 method for signature 'ExpressionFeatureSet' rma(object, background=TRUE, normalize=TRUE, subset=NULL) You can only summarize the 3'-biased arrays at one level, because there is only one level. In other words, unlike the Gene ST and Exon ST arrays, each probe belongs only to a single probeset, and there are no alternative (Affy-sanctioned) ways to combine probes into probesets. So these are equivalent: oligo::rma(mydata) affy::rma(mydata) Best, Jim > affy: rma(mydata) > > Thanks, > Xiayu > > > > -----Original Message----- > From: James W.

Thank you very much, Jim! That' very clear. I now understand it. Thanks, Xiayu -----Original Message----- From: James W.
