[BioC] ad hoc tools for affy tiling arrays?

[sdurinck@ebi.ac.uk]

Hi Dario,

Have a look at the tilingArray package.  It's description says:

The package provides a function for DNA reference normalization of probe
effects, a fast model-based segmentation algorithm, and a nice
along-chromosome visualization of the segmented data. Data structures and
user interfaces are under development are subject to change.

Best,
Steffen
