Hi all,

I've been looking at probe-level data for HG-U133 Plus 2.0 arrays and
following the tutorial listed at "http://groups.google.com/group/aroma-
affymetrix/web/data-affymetrixcelset-object".  When I run the
readUnits(csOrig,unit=1) #gets the first unit (aka probeset), where
csOrig is a celSet for HG-U133 Plus 2.0 arrays, I am getting a higher
than expected number of probes grouped to this probeset.  In this
case, unit=1 is the probeset "AFFX-BioB-5_at", and it reports as
having 40 probes:

Here is the output:

readUnits(cs, unit=1)
$`AFFX-BioB-5_at`
$`AFFX-BioB-5_at`$`AFFX-BioB-5_at`
$`AFFX-BioB-5_at`$`AFFX-BioB-5_at`$intensities

I've looked around in the annotation files from affymetrix and there
are only 20 probes for this probeset.  Other probesets I've looked at
have this issue too.  It seems that the number of probes groupt to
that probeset are always doubled.  I am using the cdf which is located
at http://aroma-project.org/node/26, and the "Binary version of the
CDF file (shown above) from Affymetrix.  54,675 units."

Is this a mistake in the cdf file grouping of probes to probesets, or
am I misunderstanding what the readUnits/readIntensities functions are
doing?
