Discover the integrated Affymetrix array Quality Control module 

Affymetrix microarrays of different technology versions are very often used in transcriptomics analysis.
Quality control and normalization approaches do exist, especially as packages in Bioconductor/R. However:
- Procedures are often different between teams.
- They are not always easy to access as they run through command lines.
- It is often not clear what the meaning of the specific settings and results are
- They are not always usable for the newer technology types of arrays.
To tackle this, we proposed an automated well-documented and user-friendly pipeline for Affymetrix microarray quality control and normalization.
