Hi, fair enough. The nuIDs are not implemented by Illumina but by the Bioconductor package lumi to resolve some discrepancy in the annotation of different array versions. As far as I remember it is based on the MD5 hash of the actual probe sequence. Bioconductor packages can deal with both nuID or Illumina probe ID. I guess it's possible to slightly modify the Illumina BASE package so that it actually generates and use the nuID as the reporter and feature names. I might try to do that if I needed. I'm not sure how much it's useful and fit within BASE, as I'm a new-comer and don't know yet all its arcanes. It might clarify the import or clean the reporters that are imported (duplicates, etc...).
I'm looking forward to know better how to use BASE efficiently. On that purpose, a suggestion would be to write some tutorials based on real user cases, so that one can setup BASE following recommended and efficient strategies (data organization, user rights, ...) Thanks again and congrats for BASE.
