The "fullmodel" option uses both MM intensities and PM probe sequences;
The  "affinities" option uses MM probes only as negative control probes to
estimate the relationship of NSB with sequence. IT does not use the MMs as
paried measurement of background for each PM probe. The idea here is that
a set of "non-PM" probes are needed but not one for each PM.
The "MM" option uses only the MM measurements for background adjustment.
