[BioC] ERCC spike-in probes in

[Brian Abraham [guest]]

Hi team,

I'm part of the lab that made everyone's microarray analysis more difficult by demanding everyone do ERCC spike-in normalization.  Unfortunately, the primeviewcdf does not automatically contain the probeset IDs for ERCCs, despite the probes being physically on the chip.  We've worked with Affy to get a custom cdf made that contains the locations of the ERCC probes on the primeview chip.  Would you be interested in folding this into your code so that more people can benefit from it?
