I am currently working on the analysis of array CGH data of Glioblastoma multiforme patients, obtained from the TCGA website. The data was obtained from the Level 1 archive of CNV (CN Array) data type from the Agilent Human Genome CGH Microarray 244A platform.
Initially, I created an object called arrayFiles by specifying the path name for the TCGA data and the pattern set to âTCGA.â Next, I read the raw data into R using the function, read.maImages, using the following code: rawData <- read.maimages(arrayFiles, source = "agilent", columns =list(R = "rMedianSignal", G = "gMedianSignal", Rb = "rBGMedianSignal",Gb = "gBGMedianSignal"), annotation = c("Row", "Col", "LogRatio", "ProbeName","GeneName", "SystematicName", "PositionX", "PositionY"), names = basename(arrayFiles)).
I set the design for the rawData, using the following code: rawData$design <- (-1). With the previous two commands, rawData was of data type, RGList. Next, I normalized and corrected the background of the data, using the code: MA <- normalizeWithinArrays(backgroundCorrect(rawData, method = "minimum"), method = âmedianâ). This line of code then created an MAList. Next, I set the names for the MAList using the code: names(MA$genes)<-c(âRowâ,"Col","LogRatio","ID","GeneName","Chr","Position","PositionY"). â¨â¨Next, the processCGH function from the snapCGH package was implemented on the MA object, using the code: MA2 <- processCGH(MA,method.of.averaging=mean, ID = âPositionâ). However, this command gave the error message: Error in segList$genes : object of type 'closure' is not subsettable.
Additionally, when I had run the same commands previously, a different error showed up: Error in processCGH(MA, method.of.averaging = mean, ID = "ID") : object 'segList' not found.
What would be a good way to fix these errors? I really appreciate any help with this issue. Thank you so much for your time.
