gprread - Read microarray data from GenePix Results (GPR) file

Syntax

GPRData = gprread('File')

gprread(..., 'PropertyName', PropertyValue,...)
gprread(..., 'CleanColNames', CleanColNamesValue)

Arguments

File	GenePix Results (GPR) formatted file. Enter a file name or a path and file name.
CleanColNamesValue	Controls the creation of column names that can be used as variable names.

Description

GPRData = gprread('File') reads GenePix results data from File and creates a MATLAB structure (GPRData) with the following fields.

Field
Header
Data
Blocks
Columns
Rows
Names
IDs
ColumnNames
Indices
Shape

gprread(..., 'PropertyName', PropertyValue,...) defines optional properties using property name/value pairs.

gprread(..., 'CleanColNames', CleanColNamesValue) controls the creation of column names that can be used as variable names. A GPR file may contain column names with spaces and some characters that the MATLAB software cannot use in MATLAB variable names. If CleanColNamesValue is true, gprread returns names in the field ColumnNames that are valid MATLAB variable names and names that you can use in functions. By default, CleanColNamesValue is false and the field ColumnNames may contain characters that are invalid for MATLAB variable names.

The field Indices of the structure contains indices that can be used for plotting heat maps of the data.

Examples

% Read in a sample GPR file 
gprStruct = gprread('mouse_a1pd.gpr');
% Plot the median foreground intensity for the 635 nm channel. 
maimage(gprStruct,'F635 Median')
