Hi Markus,

sorry but this one slipped through my net.

Yes, the output of all *probe-level* preprocessing methods generates
CEL files of the same format/layout that you can treat as if they were
raw CEL files.   You should be able to use these CEL files in for
instance the Affymetrix GTC software, dChip and so on.

No/correct, because those CEL files are so called chip-effect CEL
files (*,chipEffects.CEL), which are custom-made (=only recognized) by
the aroma.affymetrix software.  They cannot be read by other software
(and you should not try to either).

It sounds like you wish to export the summarized CN signals from
aroma.affymetrix into the Affymetrix GTC software.  I don't know what
kind of data GTC can import, but you can export/write CN signals to
tab-delimited text files by:

# CRMA v2 vignette
cesN <- ... # from the PCR fragment-length normalization

# Generate platform-independent data sets
dsNList <- exportTotalAndFracB(cesN, drop=FALSE);

Then you can do:

writeDataFrame(dsNList$total, ...);

and (only if you used combineAlleles=FALSE):

writeDataFrame(dsNList$fracB, ...);

For more details on writeDataFrame() and what is written, see

   http://aroma-project.org/howtos/writeDataFrame

The data is (total,fracB) = (total signal, allele B fractions).  If
you want (thetaA,thetaB) or similar you need to fix that yourself
afterward.  Again, I don't know what kind of data Affymetrix GTC can
import, if any.

BTW, if you use doCRMAv2() it will do/return 'dsNList' for you, cf.
http://aroma-project.org/blocks/doCRMAv2.   That may be more
convenient for you.

Hope this helps

Henrik

When reporting problems on aroma.affymetrix, make sure 1) to run the latest 
version of the package, 2) to report the output of sessionInfo() and 
traceback(), and 3) to post a complete code example.
