Title:
Software for affy data analysis: Bioconductor, AffyExtensions and
RMAExpress.

presenter: Ben Bolstad <bolstad@stat.berkeley.edu>


Abstract:
With the recent release of version 1.2 of Bioconductor it is time to
explore some of the features of the software. In particular we will
attempt to highlight some of the better as well as some of the less
known features provided by Bioconductor. We will mainly focus on methods
in the "affy" package.

We will also look at some of the features of AffyExtensions, another R
package, including the fitPLM() command. I will also look at some
preliminary results with an optimized ReadAffy() command that has
recently been introduced.

Finally we will take a brief look at RMAExpress: a GUI program which
allows the user to compute RMA expression measures without using R.

The discussion will concentrate on giving practical data analysis
examples, but there will be brief looks at the underlying
implementations.
