[BioC] create Affymetrix .chp file for viewing in affy Integrated Genome Browser

[Shi, Tao]

Hi Steve,

I basically did a brutal-force probe-level analysis, so I could get around the large memory requirement of 'tilingArray' packages.  

In our case, we used tiling array like other expression array for differentially expressed gene identification.  I parsed the PM signals from the .cel files and did scaling, quantile normalization, then assessed the significance of signal change between the treatments vs. controls for each probe.  Nothing fancy.

I'm fully aware of the problems of this approach, but it's a start point for me.  All your questions are relevant but I just don't have time to consider them yet.  I was still using the .bpmap file Affy provides.

best,

...Tao

Hi Tao,

I was curious if you took an approach in your analysis that borrowed  
from the BioC `tilingArray` package, or is your take something  
completely new/different?

I'm playing around with analyzing some tiling array data myself for  
the first time, and was curious how you approached some issues in the  
analysis, such as:

1) normalization of signal with respect to probe sequence
--> The process outlined in the tilingArray package for dealing with  
this sounds great, but I don't have genomic dna to use as a control.

2) dealing with probes that hit several parts of the genome

3) did you reblast the probe sequences to get a better idea of where  
they map to the latest reference genome?

Just curious,
-steve
