Hi Sucheta, the old configuration files (those in the CBIL RAD repository which will be public soon) are a mix of files for older versions of the plugins, now deprecated, or for plugins that are specific of our instance of RAD. I recommend not to use these. You can get the most recent plugins from the Sanger CVS, from the GUS/RAD repository and I recommend you use these together with the accompanying sample config files in the same repository. As for Affy data, MAS5 is not the only view we have. We also have RMAexpress, MOID, and (this is the most recent in the RAD schema) ProbeProfiler. More views of CompositeElementResultImp can be created as needed. Same story for ElementResultImp. Also, these are a tables that accomodate results straight out of a given quantification software. In RAD there are other sets of tables to accomodate other processing steps (including ad hoc normalizations) that are done by a user subsequently (the Process tables) and also tables to accomodate down stream analysis results (the Analysis tables). I should mention that we are planning to soon just use the Analysis tables also for processing results and to deprecate the Process tables, as the former are more mature in their design. Elisabetta P.S. I'm cc-ing the gus-rad-issue mailing list. I don't recall if you subscribed to this, I would recommend you do and also it would help if you could cc this list when you have RAD questions, so we can keep an archive. --- On Tue, 9 Nov 2004, Sucheta Tripathy wrote: > Hi Elisabetta, > > Thanks for yor reply.
