readArrays: Read peptide microarray data from GPR files

Description Usage Arguments Value

Description

readArrays is a function used to read in peptide microarray data from Genepix GPR files (in Axon ATF format). It produces a Bioconductor MultiSet object with microarray signal intensity data (foreground intensity, background intensity and other measures for assessing feature quality) in the assayData slot. A minimal annotation set is created by recording sample data (sample unique identifier and file name) in the phenoData slot, and feature data (feature names and ID, and layout information) in the featureData slot. The scan date and time for the GPR file (if recorded in the GPR header) is written to the annnotated data frame in the protocolData slot. Only signal intensity data from a single wavelength (single colour data) is imported.

2
readArrays(samplename = NULL, filename = NULL, path = NULL,
  wavelength = NULL)

Arguments

wavelength

integer value for the scan wavelength (typically 635 for Cy5 and 532 for Cy3)

files

a data frame with 3 columns: sampleName - unique identifier for the sample, fileName - GPR file name and extension, path - full path or URL to the directory holding the GPR file

Value

an object of class MultiSet
