2.2.4.2 Array files

An Array file typically contains clone or probe-level information for one or more chromosome of one or more samples. It consists of an ArraySet, in which one ore more Array elements are embedded. Each of these Array elements regroups Obj elements, which store probe-level information for one particular sample.

The corresponding XML files has the following hierarchical structure:

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='iso-8859-1'?>
<ArraySet> 
    <SetName>Name</SetName>
    <Array>
        // Array Properties
        <Obj>
            // Obj Properties
        </Obj>
        <Obj>
            // Obj Properties
        </Obj>
        .
        .
        .
    </Array>
    <Array>
        // Array Properties
        <Obj>
            // Obj Properties
        </Obj>
        <Obj>
            // Obj Properties
        </Obj>
