Microarray analysis--exprs has probe IDs, but the column has no "ID" designation.

Question

[randalljellis]

Hello,

I am doing a microarray analysis. I analyze my .CEL files, normalize them with gcrma, but after I convert the data to an expression set, the probes are listed but the column has no name.

# load files
celfiles <- read.affy(covdesc="phenodata.txt", path="data")
celfiles.gcrma <- gcrma(celfiles)

eset <- exprs(celfiles.gcrma)
eset

From there, after finding differentially expressed genes, the probe column still has no value I can call with $.

Massive thanks in advance for anyone that can help with this.

You can use rownames to extract probe column.

Thank you so much, it worked. I love this community so much, you never fail me.

Thank you, thank you, thank you. :)
