[BioC] Affymetrix HG U295 support in BioC?

[cstrato]

Dear Xavier,

Alternatively, you could use package xps, which also supports the 
HG-U219 arrays. It uses the official CDF and annotation files from 
Affymetrix to create so-called "root scheme files". However, you can 
download the pre-built scheme file "hgu219_na30.root" from:
http://microarray.bu.edu/~sshen/xps/

Besides rma normalization xps also allows you to do mas5 normalization 
for PM-only arrays.

Best regards
Christian
