Dear Kristian
I am afraid you will need to tell us more precisely what you mean by
"combine", i.e. what is the goal or question behind it.
On a trivial level, of course you can combine the datasets, using
"cbind", "merge" etc. However, there are many subtleties regarding
normalisation (which first you should do separately for each array
type), and batch effects. The appropriate solution, if any, will depend
a lot on the nature and quality of your data, and your question.
Best wishes
Wolfgang
