[BioC] Illumina CytoSNP-12 CDF file for crlmm

[Benilton Carvalho]

Hi Stephen,

CDF files are exclusive for Affymetrix arrays. So, your question is
how could you create an annotation package that would allow crlmm to
handle properly your Illumina chips.

Currently. this is not a simple task: you would need access to HapMap
data on this particular array. With the HapMap data available, we
would need to train the algorithm (we have code for this, but requires
some manual intervention) and, only then, create the annotation
package you need.

If you're able to get HapMap data for this chip, please contact me
off-list and I may be able to help you out,
