_F_o_r_m_a_t:

     'SpikeIn' is 'ProbeSet' containing the $PM$ and $MM$ intensities
     for a gene spiked in at different concentrations (given in the
     vector 'colnames(pm(SpikeIn))') in 12 different arrays.

_S_o_u_r_c_e:

     This comes from an experiments where 11 different cRNA fragments
     have been added to the hybridization mixture of the GeneChip
     arrays at different pM concentrations.  The 11 control cRNAs were
     BioB-5, BioB-M, BioB-3, BioC-5, BioC-3, BioDn-5 (all {\it E.
     coli}), CreX-5, CreX-3 (phage P1), and  DapX-5, DapX-M, DapX-3
     ({\it B. subtilis}) The cRNA were chosen to match the target
     sequence for each of the Affymetrix control probe sets. For
     example, for DapX (a {\it B. subtilis} gene), the 5', middle and
     3' target sequences (identified by DapX-5, DapX-M, DapX-3) were
     each synthesized separately and spiked-in at a specific
     concentration. Thus, for example, DapX-3 target sequence may be
     added to the total hybridization solution of 200 $mu$l to give a
     final concentration of 0.5 pM.

     For this example we have the $PM$ and $MM$ for BioB-5 obtained
     from the arrays where it was spiked in at 0.0, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.5,
     2, 3, 5, 12.5, 25, 50, and 150 pM.
