se.lu.thep.affymetrix for BASE
The Plier algorithm in this plug-in is superseded by the APT plug-in.
This package contains two plug-ins for BASE: RMAExpress and Plier.
RMAExpress and Plier are two similar plug-ins needed to make use of Affymetrix expression chip data in BASE. Affymetrix data can be imported into BASE as files, but if one wants to perform clustering and other analysis available in BASE, the data in these files have to be extracted and imported into BASE. NOTE, these plug-ins cannot handle snp chip data (see ticket:73).
These plug-ins do not implement the RMA method and Plier method, but rather relies on third-party binary packages.
The RMAExpress plug-in relies on RMAExpressConsole available in the RMAExpress package available at http://rmaexpress.bmbolstad.com/. The RMA algorithm is published in scientific journals, for more information please refer to the RMAExpress web site. In short RMA is the Robust Multichip Average. It consists of three steps: a background adjustment, quantile normalization, and finally a summarization.
The Plier plug-in relies on apt-probeset-summarize
included in
Affymetrix Power Tools (APT) available at
http://www.affymetrix.com/support/developer/powertools/index.affx.
apt-probeset-summarize
provides several methods (see Affymetrix home
page). Here we use the method given with option flag `--option
plier-mm`. For more information regarding the Plier algorithm please
refer to the Affymetrix home page.
Documentation
INSTALL describes how to install the plug-in (either from a (semi)pre-compiled package or the subversion repository).
README contains general information about the plug-in and hints on how to use it.
Information about the underlying algorithms can be found at http://rmaexpress.bmbolstad.com/ and affymetrix homepage, respectively.

Contribute
After making modifications to the source code, compose a clear and concise log message to describe those changes and the reasons for them. Then, send an email to the developers list containing your log message and the output of svn diff (from the top of your subversion working copy). If the community members consider your changes acceptable, someone who has commit privileges will add your changes to the public source code tree. Recall that permission to directly commit changes to the repository is granted on merit - if you demonstrate comprehension of subversion, programming competency, and a team spirit, you will likely be awarded that permission.
