Unfortunately you're not going to be able to use puma as the methods require both perfect 
match (PM) and mismatch (MM) data (and exon arrays have only the PM).

Best wishes

I would like to apply more advanced normalization methods like GC-RMA, VSN, PUMA or BGX, but none of these methods seems to be compatible with the oligo-package.
