[BioC] Problem loading data for Agi4x44PreProcess

[Bernal-Mizrachi, Leon]

Dear Massimo,

Thanks for your replay.

I have 2 silly question and I apologize for it.

1. In the agilent platform there is several signals: gProcessedsignal,gMeanProcessedSignal,gMeanSignal and gBGMeanSignal. I understand that we can used the gMean and the gBGmean to substract the background. however what are those gProcessed and gMean?

2. If I have 18 samples and I want to creat the "targets.txt" data frame, how can I create it. In another words, looking at the vignette, how can I create a table such as:

FileName              Treatment GErep Subject Array
Ast Ast.txt st             1               A            1
Bst Bst.txt st              1               B            1
Aunst Aunst.txt unst  2              A            1
Bunst Bunst.txt unst  2               B            1

or how can I load my data into one onlyl file that  I can call "targets" and that has only the whatever signal you suggest I could use from question 1?

Sorry for this probably elemental question, I am trying to troubleshoot this platform.

Thanks again

Leon,

you mau need to avoid calling the data() function as at the example. That function calls in a sample targets file from the bundle, and it will over-ride yours.
Yours
Massimo
