[BioC] analyze HuEx array using HuGene .cdf file

[Henrik Bengtsson]

Hi,

to second what already have been said and explained; you cannot reuse
that CDF for a different chip type.  The chip types doesn't even have
the same number of probes.

Note that:

Robinson, M. D. & Speed, T. P. A comparison of Affymetrix gene
expression arrays. BMC Bioinformatics, 2007, 8, 449. URL:
http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-2105/8/449/abstract/

did this kind of comparison across these chip types.   Mark Robinson
used aroma.affymetrix for this.  I'm sure he reads this thread so I
can correct me if I'm wrong.  He and Elizabeth Purdom (I think)
created custom CDFs for this, cf.

Hope this helps

Henrik
