wgcna trait file for affymetrix cel files

I am working on affymetrix cel files of zebrafish, and I have 74 normal and treated samples. For this I would like to perform wgcna analysis, but I don't know how to create trait file for this analysis. Can any solve My problem

rna-seq

1 answer

The simplest trait file just contains booleans for treated or non-treated, with 0 untreated an 1 treated

sample1    0
sample2    1
sample3    0

But it's far more valuable if you have more (quantitative) measurements, e.g. stress response, life time,... I have no idea what's available in your experimental set-up. I would recommend following the great tutorials on the WGCNA website: https://labs.genetics.ucla.edu/horvath/CoexpressionNetwork/Rpackages/WGCNA/Tutorials/

Can you explain little further. What is life time means? How to take it as trait? Here samples are treated with metals and chemicals

Have you followed the tutorials? There are even youtube tutorials explaining in depth how to use WGCNA.

i followed the tutorial and watched youtube videos. but i am getting error in r code when i followed tutorial. especially at datTraits = allTraits[traitRows, -1] rownames(datTraits) = allTraits[traitRows, 1]

show that row names agree

table(rownames(datTraits)==rownames(datExprFemale))

this code

i am runnig wgcna r code by following ucla lab wgcna tutorial. i am finding a problem in trait file match to expression set...when i run a code like this i am ending with this error...can any one sort my problem traitData =read.csv("ClinicalTraits.csv") dim(traitData) names(traitData) allTraits=traitData[,c(2,3)] names(allTraits) Mice=rownames(datExprFemale) traitRows = match(Mice, allTraits$Mice) datTraits = allTraits[traitRows, -1]

traitRows [1] NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 [26] 26 27 28 NA 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 NA NA NA 47 NA 49 50 [51] NA NA NA NA 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 64 65 66 67 68 69 70 71 72 73 74 75 [76] 76 77

why i am getting NA

Mice    stress

this is my trait file
