[BioC] Duplicate row.names error

[Jean Yee Hwa Yang]

Hi Andre,

Currently read.Galfile uses "ID" as the unique rownames.  We assume that 
ID contains information such as probe ID whereas the column "Names" can 
contain duplicate gene names.  However, I don't think that should stop you 
from reading in the gpr file.  If you have those two columns swap in your 
gal file you might want to try:

Try
read.Galfile("XXXX", info.id = c("Name", "ID"), labels = "Name")
where XXX is the name of any of your gpr file or your gal file.

In addition, 
Can you send me off-list the output for pigTargets.

Cheers

Jean
