[BioC] Affy ST 1.0 gene chip background probes cut off set up

[cstrato]

Dear Stacy,

Since you mention xps, it may be of interest to you that xps supports 
four background algorithms:
- rma background
- sector background (mas4)
- weigthed sector background (mas5)
- gccontent background
(see vignette xpsPreprocess.pdf)

For the ST 1.0 arrays you can use gccontent background with the generic 
background probes by setting parameter "bgcorrect.select" either to 
"genomic" or "antigenomic".

Best regards
Christian
