[BioC] flat microarray p-values

Hi Sean,

Thanks for the reply. Upon closer inspection of the data, it appears that
the qvalue package is working, but the output is just wonky. I get numbers
that are the same value near 1 for all genes for most of my comparisons. The
B-statistic is also a negative value. Could there be something in the gpr
file that is causing this to occur?

Darren

What doesn't work about the qvalue package?  (I don't use it much, so I may
not be helpful, but....)  What commands have you tried and what is the
output?
