The reason if that if you have an array design the raw data import will verify that the raw data has the same reporters on the same positions as the array design has. If this is known then certain optimizations can be used in the analysis, ie. we can skip a similar check and don't need to remap positions between different raw bioassays. That is why you can't change the array design. I guess that it would be ok to change to an array design that can be validated against the raw data, but nobody has never mentioned it before and we have not implemented this validation. I have added this as a ticket so it doesn't get lost: http://base.thep.lu.se/ticket/583 So, currently your user has two options. Continue without an array design or create a new raw bioassay which has an array design and redo the analysis. /Nicklas ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
