affy

This package is for version 3.0 of Bioconductor; for the stable, up-to-date release version, see affy.

Methods for Affymetrix Oligonucleotide Arrays

Bioconductor version: 3.0

The package contains functions for exploratory oligonucleotide array analysis. The dependence on tkWidgets only concerns few convenience functions. 'affy' is fully functional without it.
