[BioC] barcode with custom CDF

[Hooiveld, Guido]

Hi Matt,
Sorry to interfere with this specific discussion, but i would also be interested in your suggestions on potential alternative approaches.
The reason I am interested is because ideally I would like to apply a (your) barcoding approach for platforms that are less used compared to the HGU133 or MOE430 platforms, such as the HuGene and MoGene ST v1.x arrays.

Regards,
Guido

Dario,

For the barcode implementations in BioC, I used > 10,000 arrays from each platform. I doubt this amount of data is available for all 8 Affy platforms you're using. If you don't mind giving me a brief overview of your research goals for this project (not cc'ing the BioC mailing list if you're more comfortable with that), I might be able to provide some alternatives to a full barcode implementation.

Best,
Matt
