[BioC] Illumina Methylation data

[Pan Du]

Hi Grace

The developing version of lumi package has implemented functions of
background adjustment and color balance adjustment functions for Illumina
Infinium methylation microarrays. Please check the vignette,
methylationAnalysis.pdf for more details.
Here is the link:
