Hi Ali,
with regards to reading data from QuantArray, you can always use the R
functions read.table or read.delim (type "help(read.delim)" at the R prompt)
and then later call the constructors e.g. for marrayRaw with the appropriate
matrices. However, Sandrine Dudoit would know much better about this!

Check out the DBI: R/Splus Database Interface
at http://cran.r-project.org/ -> Package Sources.
or the various DBMS-specific packages.
Best regards
Wolfgang

Subject: [BioC] A couple of questions
Hello everyone,
I would like to first to thank you all for providing such a great service.
I've download the code base and played around with it, but I have a couple
of straightforward questions.
I am trying to load my own data but I am unsure as to what format(s) I
should place it in. I have 2-colored cDNA and I have seen the swirl data you
have provided but I am not certain if I have to map my data to that format.
Here at George Mason University, we use QuantArray so our data comes out
with the following format:
>Number Array Row Array Column Row Column Name X Location
Y
>Location ch1 Intensity ch1 Background ch1 Intensity Std Dev ch1
>Background Std Dev ch1 Diameter ch1 Area ch1 Footprint ch1
>Circularity ch1 Spot Uniformity ch1 Bkg. Uniformity ch1 Signal
Noise
>Ratio ch1 Confidence ch2 Intensity ch2 Background ch2 Intensity
Std
>Dev ch2 Background Std Dev ch2 Diameter ch2 Area ch2 Footprint
>ch2 Circularity ch2 Spot Uniformity ch2 Bkg. Uniformity ch2 Signal
>Noise Ratio ch2 Confidence Ignore Filter
My second question is I would like to have the classes you have created read
directly from my database if possible. Do you have any suggestions as to how
that can be approached?
Sincerely,
