[BioC] ERCC spike-in probes in

Hi,
Out of curiosity:
After reading this I just wondered whether the ERCC probes are unique for the primeview array, or are they also included in other Affymetrix array designs?
[In addition to the "standard" Dap, Thr, Phe and Lys -PolyA spikes I know of].

Thanks,
Guido

Hi Brian,

I am not going to build this package for the current version of Bioconductor, but it will appear in the next release. Please note that I have replaced the 'stock' Affymetrix cdf with this one, so people will automatically get the cdf that contains the ERCC probe mappings (e.g., this cdf package will be called 'primeviewcdf', just like the current one, but will contain the ERCC probes as well).

Best,

Jim
