[BioC] Limma contrasts question

[Daniel Brewer]

Hello,

I have three types of samples PC3M (the control cell line), Knockdown
(PC3M with an siRNA knockdown vector) and Scramble (PC3M with a vector
with a scrambled sequence).  I have set up my design matrix like this:

design <- modelMatrix(targets,ref="PC3M")

As one of the comparisons I would like to compare the knockdown vs the
controls.  How would one do this?

Is something like this correct?

contrast.matrix <- makeContrasts("Knockdown vs Controls"=(2*Knockdown -
Scramble)/2)

Thanks

Dan
