Format
The data are in the format of an "RGList",
which in this case is a list with the following 9 elements:
R- matrix of dimension 6336 x 9 which contains the red
channel foreground measurements
G- matrix of dimension 6336 x 9 which contains the green
channel foreground measurements
Rb- matrix of dimension 6336 x 9 which contains the red
channel background measurements
Gb- matrix of dimension 6336 x 9 which contains the green
channel background measurements
source- source of the images, here "imagene"
Field.Dimensions- numeric vector giving the field
dimensions of the array (Metarows, Metacols, Rows and Cols)
weights- matrix of dimension 6336 x 9 which contains
the quality weights associated with each spot on the arrays
printer- list containing information on the process
used to print the spots on the arrays (number of grid rows /
columns and number of spot rows / columns per grid - coincides
with
Field.Dimensions) genes- A
data.frame containing information on
each probe. Has the following columns:
Field- field position for the probe
Meta Row- meta row position for the probe
Meta Column- meta column position for the probe
Row- row position for the probe
Column- column position for the probe
Gene ID- unique gene identifier provided by Miltenyi Biotec
ID- unique probe identifier constructed by
concatentating the "Gene ID" with "Meta Row", "Meta Column",
"Row", and "Column" information
Name- name of the microRNA
Name.stem- base name of the microRNA
probe.type- type of probe, "MMU miRNAs", "Other
miRNAs", "Control", "Empty", and "Other"
