[BioC] single channel analysis of loop designs

Dear Matthew,
I guess the main publication is my own - at present only an 
unrefereed conference proceeding. 
http://www.stat.psu.edu/%7Ewzhao/bcc/respapers/AltmanInterface04.doc
  I think that the Kerr and Churchill papers do it this way, too, but 
they do not explain why.

Basically, using differences has 2 disadvantages - it has higher 
variance than single channel analysis, and if a spot is missing on an 
array, many of the effects for that gene cannot be estimated.
