Hi all,
My apologies if this seems obvious to many of you (seems like
something that will have been dealt with)- but I've been rooting
around in the docs and mailing list to no concrete avail.
I'm looking to Galaxyise our existing (somewhat informal) microarray
analysis workflows. I've found rexpression etc and the associated
helpful datatypes. But I'm stuck at the import of .CEL files:
- Do I need to create a new datatype to represent .CEL? The fact
this doesn't exist by default suggests it's not the right
approach.
- Assuming I was to do the above, how would I create a function
to generate an affyBatch (for example) from an unspecified
number of input .CEL?
- Is the solution to have R work with a .tar and a config file
to produce the affyBatch, thereby bypassing the .CEL
requirement? But then there's no .tar datatype either.....
If I've missed the docs I'm happy to be chided and pushed in the
right direction.
Many thanks,
Jon
