[BioC] Analysing Illumina v2 and v3 platforms

[Pan Du]

Hi Emanuele,

If you want to combine data from different versions of Illumina data, it is
better to convert the Illumina IDs as nuIDs (created based on probe
sequence) because the Illumina IDs may not be consistent across versions and
different Illumina IDs may have the same probe sequences. You can use lumi
package for this purpose. Just subsetting the data with common IDs and do
the normal processing. But you do need to check the possible batch effects.
