[BioC] RMA and quantile normalisation

[Mark Reimers]

Hello Arne,
Several publications recently have shown that the distribution of gene
abundances seems to follow a power law (one such is referenced at
www.the-scientist.com. This should turn into an exponential density on the
log scale we often use. The 'hump' we see in signal intensities from
microarray experiments probably reflects variable levels of non-specific
hybridization to each probe. If we could estimate this, we would be further
along in estimating fold changes.

regards
Mark
