Re: Using custom CDF with 'make.cdf.env'

Hi James,

Thanks for the quick response. If you open the new CDF in a text editor like notepad++ and use a find & count function you will find there are only 12,380 matches to the text string “[Unit”. This string matches both the “Unit###” section and the “Unit###_Block#” sections for each probe set, so divide by 2 = 6190 probe sets. The original CDF you do the same and find 15630/2 = 7815 probe sets.

I read through the Affymetrix CDF format documentation pretty thoroughly and checked how it corresponded to the original CDF file but couldn’t see anything I had done wrong.

Thanks,

Scott

Hi Scott,

As far as I can tell, you haven't made any changes to the cdf at all:

Dear All,

Since it exceeds 1MB, here is a link to the old ("miRNA-1_0.CDF") and new ("newmir1.cdf") CDFs, test script and example CEL file:

Subject: Using custom CDF with 'make.cdf.env'

Dear List,

I made a custom CDF by modifying the original Affymetrix miRNA v1 file. As there is a great level of redundancy in this chip I have condensed the original 7815 probe sets into 6190 probe sets (by 'moving' probes from one set to another), however when I try making and attaching my new CDF environment I still seem to have 7815 probe sets so presumably I must have done something wrong.

I have read the vignette and many similar posts to mine however still cannot work out what I am doing wrong. Perhaps the problem is with the CDF itself? I have a short script testing the functionality, the output of which I have copied in below. I will gladly attach the script, CDFs and example CEL file if there is nothing obviously wrong with the code - would do this now but there doesn't appear to be an option on the webform.

Many thanks,

Scott
