Running multiple pairs through Paired PSCBS

[Gaius Augustus]

Hello,

I have a few hundred paired samples that I'd like to run through Paired PSCBS.  The example at http://www.aroma-project.org/vignettes/PairedPSCBS-lowlevel/ is very clear on how to set up this protocol for one pair of samples.  In order to do a test run, I used a for loop to run Paired PSCBS on each pair one at a time.

Is there another way to do this?

For example, I have two vectors with file names

TumorSamples <- c("Sample1_T.CEL", "Sample2_T.CEL", "Sample3_T.CEL")

NormalSamples <- c("Sample1_N.CEL", "Sample2_N.CEL", "Sample3_N.CEL")

instead of pair <- c(T="GSM318736", N="GSM318737")

within a for loop, I ran TumorNormalpair <- c(T=dsT[i], N=dsN[i])

Thanks,

Gaius

Hi Gaius,

I have just written an R script to do exactly the thing you you are asking about, I hope it helps.

Instead of calling the Tumor and Normal separately within the loop, I put them into a data frame and then just recalled the entire row - that way I had to change very little of the code from the PairedPSCBS vignette.

Using your example:

T <- c("Sample1_T.CEL", "Sample2_T.CEL", "Sample3_T.CEL")

N <- c("Sample1_N.CEL", "Sample2_N.CEL", "Sample3_N.CEL")

pair = data.frame(T, N, stringsAsFactors=F)

Then within my for loop I called csR <- csR[indexOf(csR, pair[i,])].
