[BioC] Limma - GenePix

Hi All

Ah!. Perhaps, "the header removed" does not mean removing the header
row. Just the n lines of Genepix information?



Regards


John

Dear Juana,

Once the file has been processed by ArrayExpress, and the header
removed, 
the file is no longer a valid GPR format file.  You therefore use 
format="generic" and supply the column names, just as you've done.  I 
expect what you give below will work, but you can easily confirm by
trying 
it.

Best wishes
Gordon
