[BioC] (no subject)

Actually, I did not express myself well.  I was not talking about 
error correlation.

People usually look at the correlation in M between arrays.  Only the 
differentially expressing genes should be correlated - the remainder 
of M-values are just noise and so should be uncorrelated across 
arrays.  For this reason the size of the correlation should be 
small.  Since M represents A - B on one array and B - A on the other 
(with treatments A and B), the correlation should be negative.

Great suggestions for reading.
