DESCRIPTION

BindAffyCel

Binds multiple Affymetrix microarray .cel files column-wise into a single probe-by-sample text file

BuildExclusionFeature

Creates exclusion features for filtering out undesirable tags

BuildTarget

Creates reference targets for matching tag positions, using the user-selected transcriptome database

Combine

Combines both open- and closed-platform gene expression data into a single target-by-sample text file

DisplaySys

Prints currently available reference targets and exclusion features in the system directory

NormalizeColumnBoundSamples

Performs quantile-normalization on a probe-by-sample text file

Plot
