I've gotten arrayQualityMetrics to work with an ExpressionSet, i.e. post-processed data, but can't get it to work with pre-processed data because I cannot make an affyBatch from the new Affy Rat Gene ST arrays. Affy puts out a .qcc file but not a qcdef file for these arrays. I would like to be able to look at pre-processed QA. Also, I miss some of the features of affyQAReport such as Nuse plots, which have been very helpful to me in identifying problem arrays. Any suggestions? Mark Mark W.
