[BioC] [limma] Separate Channel Analysis of 2 color data with summarization

[Gordon K Smyth]

Dear Ana,

Your idea sounds reasonable in principle to me.  It seems reasonable to me 
that summarized values would have somewhat less tight correlation than R/G 
values on the same spot, so I wouldn't be worried about an intraspot 
correlation of 0.5.

Best wishes
Gordon
