[BioC] Empty featureData slot in beadsummary IlluminaExpressionSet object

[Johnstone, Alice]

Is there an annotation package available that uses the ProbeID as the
identifier rather than the TargetID as in illuminaRatv1? 
Thanks

IlluminaExpressionSet object

Hi Alice,

I believe the solution is to set ProbeID="ProbeID" rather than
"TargetID" in readBeadSummaryData().  The row names of the exprs slot in
the ExpressionSetIllumina object are taken from the column specified by
the 'ProbeID' argument and need to be unique for each row.  If they
aren't, the row names are set to row numbers. TargetIDs are not
necessarily unique (occurs when two different probes map to the same
transcript), whereas the ProbeIDs should be (it is a good idea to export
this column from BeadStudio).

I don't think we use the featureData slot for anything at the moment, so
it should be empty. 

I hope this helps.  Best wishes,

Matt
