[Bioc-devel] [BioC] package for human ST gene arrays?

[Kasper Daniel Hansen]

We have been a bit slow on that end, mainly because
1) while there is code in the SDK for parsing PGF, the interface is  
different from the usual one - in other words Affy has added code and  
has not bothered to fully add the interface.
2) none of us have been using it

Well, it seems that 2) is no longer true, so expect some development  
on that front.
