     The Barnes data set measured a dilution series of two human
     tissues, blood and placenta.  It includes six samples with the
     titration ratio of blood and placenta as 100:0, 95:5, 75:25,
     50:50, 25:75 and 0:100. The samples were hybridized on HumanRef-8
     BeadChip (Illumina, Inc) in duplicate. See (Barnes, et al., 2005)
     for details. The data is saved as a LumiBatch object and should be
     use together with lumi package.

     Because the Barnes data utilized the pre-released version of 
     HumanRef-8 version 1 BeadChip, some probes on the chip do not
     exist in the public released HumanRef-8 version 1 BeadChip. For
     annotation consistence, these probes was removed in the lumiBarnes
     package. For the interested users, the raw data can be downloaded
     from the paper companion website:
