[BioC] Regarding Phenodata and MAIME data

If you look in the help files for both read.MIAME and read.phenoData,
you will see that you can either supply a flat file for either function,
or use widgets to enter the information manually. 

What you enter in these files are information about the experimenter,
the lab, etc, (for MIAME) and phenotypic data about the samples (for
phenoData). Therefore, you have to get this information from whoever is
doing the experiments.

HTH,

Jim

Dear bioconductor,

Thank you for replying me, but,
I would like to report data highly informative manner, so, I suppose I
would like to use MIAME.txt
file. so, please, let me know, how can I make use of MAIME.txt file or
where can I get it, and
..again, I am having only CEL files.

for every cel file, i would use: i hope this is right:

My scripts does 1. RMA--> 2. ANOVA --->(ttest if necessary)---> (if
ttest it does adjust p-value
by multiple hypothesis) and 3. Extract sigenificant genes 4. report by
annotation & chromosome
ploting  


Thank you,
Saurin Jani
