[BioC] annotation for new agilent arrays

[Francois Pepin]

Hi Marc,

How much work would it be to just include those in your pipeline?

The process should be exactly the same as for the current agilent arrays (like hgug4112a, mgug4122a). Considering the current use of Agilent arrays, I think the new versions are going to be relatively widely used for a bit longer.
