Harshlight

A "corrective make-up" program for microarray chips

The package is used to detect extended, diffuse and compact blemishes on microarray chips. Harshlight automatically marks the areas in a collection of chips (affybatch objects) and a corrected AffyBatch object is returned. The defective areas are substituted with NAs or the median of the values of the same probe in the other chips in the collection.
