affy

Methods for Affymetrix Oligonucleotide Arrays

Bioconductor version: 3.23 · Package version: 1.90.0

Other Bioconductor versions

devel is the development version; release is the current stable one.

3.24 (devel), 3.23 (release)

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