[BioC] Quantile normalization without using affyBatch

[Shinhan Shiu]

Thanks for the comments, I used both approaches as suggested and they give 
the same values.

I have one more question regarding between array normalization. For the 
tiling array I am working on, there are several arrays with non-overlapping 
probes on them. As I understand, the between array normalization is 
generally applied to different hybridization experiments to the same kind 
of array. So, does it make sense to do between array normalization even 
though the sequences represented in the arrays are mostly different?

Best Regards,

Shinhan
