[BioC] One-color spotted microarrays analysis

[Mark Cowley]

Hi Pier-Luc,
What sort of within array normalisation are you trying to perform? ie  
what issues have you spotted in your data that you think need removing?

There are no print-tip's as such on an agilent array since they're  
printed by fancy ink jet printers.
You can't do lowess, unless you make a 'virtual' 2nd channel, perhaps  
by taking the average of all channels.

cheers,
Mark
