[BioC] Filter out pombe probeset from cerevisiae probesets for yeast2 Affymetrix chip

[Caroline Lemerle]

Hi Guiyuan,

I don't see it either but exactly that information is available for
download on the manufacturer's website, here:

http://www.affymetrix.com/Auth/support/downloads/mask_files/s_cerevisiae.zip
http://www.affymetrix.com/Auth/support/downloads/mask_files/s_pombe.zip

file x contains the list of probesets from organism x on the yeast2 chip.
