_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 _E. coli_),
     CreX-5, CreX-3 (phage P1), and  DapX-5, DapX-M, DapX-3 (_B.
     subtilis_) The cRNA were chosen to match the target sequence for
     each of the Affymetrix control probe sets. For example, for DapX
     (a _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 micro-liters 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.
