yes its possible. the easiest way is to create a new cdf environmet that
excludes these. some details:
1 - the hash tables in the cdf environmets contain a J x 2 matrix with
the PMs locations in the exprs slot matrix in the first column and the MMs
in the second. J is the number of probes (typically 16 in the hgu95a chip)
2- the order in which they appear are the given by "probe number". so all
you do is take out the first 5 entries.
3- the cdfName slot in AffyBatch tells the affy package where to find the
PM and MM information. once you define the new cdf package or environment
you stick the name of the environmnet or package in the cdfName slot.
4- normalization and bg correction will only be done on these probes
Leslie Cope (cc-ed) and I are actually working on somehting similar. We
will soon have software that automatically does this.
