qc.probes {simpleaffy}R Documentation

The name of the QC probes

Description

Contains the names of QC probes used on different chips

Format

A CSV file, with a column for each spike.

Details

Affymetrix arrays contain a set of QC probes designed to check for full length transcripts. Most arrays contain probes targeted at the 3' 5' and mid regions of the GAPDH and beta-actin transcripts. If all is well, the ratios between signal at either end of the transcripts should not be 'too large'.

This object contains a table of the probeset ids used on each array.

For more details, see the document 'QC and Affymetrix data' distributed with this package and available on the web at http://bioinformatics.picr.man.ac.uk.
