Managing Platforms

caIntegrator supports a limited number of array platforms, all of which originate from Agilent or Affymetrix. While they do not represent all of the platforms supported by caArray, caIntegrator must have array definitions loaded for the platforms it supports, and be able to properly load the data from caArray and parse it. For more information, see B - Platforms Supported by caIntegrator.
