<br />\title{Lab 4A: An Introduction to Bioconductor's {\tt marray} packages}
<br />
<br />\begin{document}
<br />
<br />\maketitle
<br />
<br />In this lab, we demonstrate the main functions in the \verb+marray+
<br />suite of packages for diagnostic plots and normalization of two-color
<br />spotted microarray data. To load the packages
<br />
<br />&lt;&lt;loadpacks&gt;&gt;=
<br />library(marrayNorm)
<br />@
<br />
<br />For a more detailed introduction, consult the package vignettes which
<br />can be listed by the command {\tt openVignette()}. A demo for
<br />\verb+marrayPlots+ can also be accessed by {\tt demo(marrayPlots)}. We
<br />will work with the sample dataset \verb+swirl+; for a description of
<br />\verb+swirl+, type {\tt ? swirl}. To load this dataset 
<br />
<br />&lt;&lt;loaddata&gt;&gt;=
<br />data(swirl)
<br />@
<br />
<br />%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
<br />%%% marrayClasses
<br />
<br />\section{Basic classes and methods: {\tt marrayClasses} package}
<br />
<br />One of the main classes in \verb+marrayClasses+ is the \verb+marrayLayout+
<br />class; it is used to keep track of important layout parameters, such as the total number of spotted probe sequences on the array, the dimensions of
<br />     the spot and grid matrices, the plate origin of the probes,
<br />     information on spotted control sequences.
<br />For details on this class consult the help file, {\tt ?
<br />marrayLayout. Two other important classes are
<br />\verb+marrayRaw+ and \verb+marrayNorm+, which represent, respectively,
<br />pre-normalization and post-normalization intensity data for a batch
<br />     of spotted microarrays. Methods for manipulating instances of these
<br />classes are also described in the help files.
<br />
<br />The object \verb+swirl+  is an instance of the class
<br />\verb+marrayRaw+. Try the following commands to obtain information on
<br />this object
<br />
<br />&lt;&lt;swirl1&gt;&gt;=
<br />class(swirl)
<br />slotNames(swirl)
<br />swirl
<br />@
<br />
<br />
<br />To access individual slots
<br />
<br />&lt;&lt;swirl2&gt;&gt;=
<br />
<br />maLayout(swirl)
<br />maGnames(swirl)
<br />@
<br />
<br />As with other microarray objects in Bioconductor packages, you can
<br />use subsetting commands for {\tt marrayRaw} objects
<br />
<br />&lt;&lt;sub&gt;&gt;=
<br />sw&lt;-swirl[1:100,2]
<br />class(sw)
<br />sw
<br />@
<br />
<br />You can access red and green foreground and background intensities,
<br />and log ratios as follows
<br />&lt;&lt;RG&gt;&gt;=
<br />Gb&lt;-maGb(swirl)
<br />dim(Gb)
<br />Gb[1:5,]
<br />Rf&lt;-maRf(swirl)
<br />dim(Rf)
<br />Rf[1:5,]
<br />M&lt;-maM(swirl)
<br />dim(M)
<br />@
<br />
<br />
<br />%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
<br />%%% marrayInput
<br />
<br />\section{Reading in data: {\tt marrayInput} package}
<br />
<br />Functions and widgets for reading in spotted array data are
<br />provided in the \verb+marrayInput+ package, see for example {\tt ?
<br />read.marrayRaw} or {\tt ? widget.marrayRaw}.
<br />
<br />
<br />%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
<br />%%% marrayPlots
<br />
<br />\section{Diagnostic plots: {\tt marrayPlots} package}
<br />
<br />The \verb+marrayPlots+ package provides functions for diagnostic plots
<br />of microarray spot statistics.
<br />
<br />To produce a spatial image of background intensities for the Cy3
<br />channel in the third array
<br />&lt;&lt;image1,fig=TRUE&gt;&gt;=
<br />tmp&lt;-maImage(swirl[,3],x=&quot;maGb&quot;,bar=FALSE)
<br />@
<br />
<br />To produce a spatial image of log ratios for the first array in the batch
<br />&lt;&lt;image2,fig=TRUE&gt;&gt;=
<br />tmp&lt;-maImage(swirl[,1],col=maPalette(low=&quot;blue&quot;,high=&quot;yellow&quot;),bar=FALSE)
<br />@
<br />
<br />To produce boxplots of log ratios by sector for the first array in the batch
<br />&lt;&lt;boxplot1,fig=TRUE&gt;&gt;=
<br />maBoxplot(swirl[,1])
<br />@
<br />
<br />
<br />To produce boxplots of log ratios by plate for the second array in the batch
<br />&lt;&lt;boxplot2,fig=TRUE&gt;&gt;=
<br />maPlate(swirl)&lt;-maCompPlate(swirl,n=384)
<br />maBoxplot(swirl[,2],x=&quot;maPlate&quot;,names=NULL)
<br />@
<br />
<br />For boxplots of log ratios for all four arrays
<br />&lt;&lt;boxplot3,fig=TRUE&gt;&gt;=
<br />maBoxplot(swirl)
<br />@
<br />
<br />
<br />%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
<br />%%% marrayNorm
<br />
<br />\section{Normalization: {\tt marrayNorm} package}
<br />
<br />The \verb+marrayNorm+ package implements robust adaptive location and
<br />scale normalization procedures, which correct for different types of dye
<br />biases (e.g., intensity, spatial, plate biases).
<br />
<br />The main location and scale normalization function is
<br />\verb+maNormMain+. Simpler wrapper functions are provided in
<br />\verb+maNorm+ and \verb+maNormScale+.
<br />The function operate on objects of class \verb+marrayRaw+ (or possibly \verb+marrayNorm+, if normalization is performed in several steps) and return objects of class
<br />\verb+marrayNorm+. 
<br />
<br />For within-print-tip-group loess location normalization of batch swirl
<br />
<br />&lt;&lt;norm&gt;&gt;=
<br />swirl.norm&lt;-maNormMain(swirl)
<br />@
<br />
<br />For boxplots of post-normalization log-ratios
<br />&lt;&lt;boxplot4,fig=TRUE&gt;&gt;=
<br />maBoxplot(swirl.norm[,1])
<br />@
<br />
<br />&lt;&lt;boxplot5,fig=TRUE&gt;&gt;=
<br />maBoxplot(swirl.norm)
<br />@
