Summary
Bio::EnsEMBL::AffyArray - A module to represent an Affymetrix array.
Package variables
No package variables defined.
Included modules
Bio::EnsEMBL::OligoArray
Inherit
Bio::EnsEMBL::OligoArray
Synopsis
  use Bio::EnsEMBL::AffyArray;
my $array = Bio::EnsEMBL::AffyArray->new( -NAME => 'Affy-1', -INCLUDED_IN => $another_array, -SETSIZE => 16, );
Description
An AffyArray object represents an Affymetrix array. The data (currently
the name, probeset size and parent array) are stored in the oligo_array
table.
Each array can have a parent array (another array that contains all the
probes of this array). This is rarely (if ever) used.
