[aroma.affymetrix] Re: CbsModel

2010-09-22 Thread Kai
Hi Henrik,

Thank you for letting me know the hidden trick. It seems to work. I
have another related question regarding the CbsModel function.

You've mentioned in addressing another post that for non-affy
platforms, once one has setup a platform-independent data set (*.asb
files) as in Vignette: Creating binary data files containing copy
number estimates, e.g.

ds - AromaUnitTotalCnBinarySet$byName(dataSet, tags=tags,
chipType=*);

One can then pass this to CbsModel just as one passes an
CnChipEffectSet 'ces' in other vignettes for affymetrix genotyping
platforms. However, it seems to me that what are stored in the
CnChipEffectSet are raw CN estimates, whereas the
AromaUnitTotalCnBinaryFile objects contain log2 CN ratios.

If these are correct, my question is that how CbsModel can tell
whether the input data are in log2-scale or not, or whether the input
data are ratios or not? Thank you very much for your help on this.

Best,
Kai

 Hi Kai.

 I am aware of the issue, and it is on the todo list to add argument
 specify that you don't want ratios to be calculated.  There is
 currently a secret workaround for this that should not be read as an
 official documented feature [that's a warning for users reading this
 thread in the future], but it should solve your immediate needs.

 cbs - CbsModel(ds);
 cbs$.calculateRatios - FALSE;

 See if that does it for you.

  Dear Henrik,

  I was trying to run CBS model on a set of paired CN estimates. The
  data were generated using an Illumina platform, so I have followed
  Vignette: Creating binary data files containing copy number
  estimates to create the log2ratio CN estimates between a tumor sample
  and its matched normal.

  I have loaded the data with the following codes:

  dataSet = Dataset,tagA,tagB;
  chipType = HumanOmni1-Quad;
  ds = AromaUnitTotalCnBinarySet$byName(dataSet,chipType=chipType);
  cbs = CbsModel(ds);

  However, when I looked at how the CBS model was set up, it says:

  cbs
  CbsModel:
  Name: Dataset
  Tags: tagA,tagB
  Chip type (virtual): HumanOmni1-Quad
  Path: cbsData/Dataset,tagA,tagB/HumanOmni1-Quad
  Number of chip types: 1
  Sample  reference file pairs:
  Chip type #1 of 1 ('HumanOmni1-Quad'):
  Sample data set:
  AromaUnitTotalCnBinarySet:
  Name: Dataset
  Tags: tagA,tagB
  Full name: Dataset,tagA,tagB
  Number of files: 10
  Names: sample1, sample2, ..., sample10 [10]
  Path (to the first file): rawCnData/Dataset,tagA,tagB/HumanOmni1-Quad
  Total file size: 43.46 MB
  RAM: 0.02MB
  Reference data set/file:
  average across arrays
  RAM: 0.00MB

  It seems to me that the CBS model is using average across arrays
  as reference, which would not be what I want, since my CN estimates
  have already been referenced. So my questions are:

  1. Is this how CBS will behave?
  2. Is there a way to let CBS take the CN estimates as is, without
  contrasting to any reference?

  Thank you very much for your help on this.

  Best,
  Kai

[aroma.affymetrix] Relative Copy Number Analysis

2010-09-22 Thread Dario Strbenac
Hello, 

I see the vignette for absolute copy number analysis, where you compare to a 
HapMap sample pool, but I'm not sure how to do a control / treatment analysis. 
I have 1 Affymetrix SNP6 .CEL of a cancer sample and 1 of a normal sample. The 
documentation is brief or non-existent for most of the functions that appear in 
the total copy number vignette. Can anyone share a workflow for a relative 
analysis ?
