[BioC] Help on Illumina HumanHT12 v4 chromosome filtering

[Kemal Akat]

Hi all,

I am running into problems when I want to remove probes targeting chromosome Y.

I can reproduce this behavior with the data from the beadarrayExampleData package:


library(beadarray)
library(illuminaHumanv4.db)
library(beadarrayExampleData)
data(exampleSummaryData)
## filter for probe quality
ids = as.character(featureNames(exampleSummaryData))
qual = unlist(mget(ids, illuminaHumanv4PROBEQUALITY, ifnotfound = NA))
rem = qual == "No match" | qual == "Bad" | is.na(qual)
exampleSummaryData_filt = exampleSummaryData[!rem]
## get chromosome location for remaining probes
ids = as.character(featureNames(exampleSummaryData_filt))
chr = unlist(mget(ids, illuminaHumanv4CHR, ifnotfound = NA))
## filter out probes targeting the Y chromosome
rem_chr= chr == "Y"
exampleSummaryData_filt = exampleSummaryData_filt[!rem_chr]
Error in obj[i, , ..., drop = drop] : 
  (subscript) logical subscript too long
Calls: [ ... [ -> callNextMethod -> .nextMethod -> lapply -> FUN

The eSet (Illumina) object starts with

R> dim(exampleSummaryData)
Features  Samples Channels 
   49576       12        2 

probes. After quality filtering

R> dim(exampleSummaryData_filt) ## after filtering for probe quality
Features  Samples Channels 
   30084       12        2 
R> 

Now, for the second filtering (ids = as.character(featureNames(exampleSummaryData_filt) etc.):

R> length(ids)
[1] 30084
R> length(chr)
[1] 30109

Where are the extra probes coming from? I tried to match only the ones in exampleSummaryData_filt), 

idx = match(ids, names(chr))
chr = chr[idx]

but this led to other problems.

Maybe I am missing something obvious?
Thank you for any hints or help!

Kemal
