[BioC] Scaling Factor for Affymetrix chips

[Jacky Pallas]

Try the simpleaffy package from Crispin Miller et al. for a graphical
summary of scaling factors, %present calls, background etc. for all .cel
files in an experiment.

Dear All,

Is the Scaling Factor (from GCOS) still neccessary for the quality
assessment of Affy, eventhough we are applying RMA or GCRMA for the
probe level analysis??  Many times we only have the .cel files from an
experiment, in this case how can one have a look at the SF using any
BioC package?  Could you recommend a comprehensive QC method/procedure
for the Affymetrix chip? Thanks.
