Dear all, I'm writing my first R package that I want to submit to Bioconductor implementing an algorithm for detecting differentially expressed genes that is not available in R yet. The example data set is an AffyBatch object that contains 6 read in *.CEL files, which were used in the paper introducing the algorithm and are most suitable to show the application of the package. Unfortunately, including the data example increases the size of the compressed package to 6MB. Is there a way to drastically reduce the size of an Affybatch object or are there other options that can reduce the file size? Thanks for your help, ------------------------------ Tobias Guennel Research Assistant Department of Biostatistics Virginia Commonwealth University Theater Row 3035F 804-828-2527

I believe the right way to do this is the following 1) Make an AffyBatch containing only a few probesets to use for your examples. Include this in the package 2) Submit a package containing your experiment 3) Use the package above in a vignette. But I am sure someone else will chime in. Kasper
