computeAffinities.AffymetrixCdfFile: Calculates probe affinities from sequence

Description

Calculates probe affinities from sequence. Adapted from compute.affinities in the gcrma package. Attempts to find the tab-separated probe sequence file associated with a particular CDF, and matches sequence to probe index in order to assign an affinity to each probe.

Usage

## S3 method for class 'AffymetrixCdfFile':
computeAffinities(this, safe=TRUE, force=FALSE, verbose=FALSE, ...)

Arguments

safe
A logical argument passed to getProbeSequenceData().
force
If FALSE, cached results is returned, if available.
verbose
See Verbose.
