Agilent data Read & Normalize
I have an Agilent dataset, I am trying to read and normalize it, I used the code bellow but I am getting error.
library(limma)
targets <- readTargets("targets_limma.txt", row.names=1,sep ="")
x <- read.maimages(targets$Filename,source="agilent",green.only=TRUE)
Can we use RMA tp normalize Agilent data?
NormData<-rma(data) does not work.
Please any help

Dear Shawinkarim,
You should consider reading limma users guide: case 17.4 for agilent-page 110 (http://www.bioconductor.org/packages/release/bioc/vignettes/limma/inst/doc/usersguide.pdf)
It has a detailed pipeline for handling agilent data. Just check the function: ?normalizeBetweenArrays
which states that the default option for single channel agilent microarrays is "quantile normalization"
Hope that helps,
Efstathios

rma() is only for Affymetrix microarray data, which you do not have.
