The problem I see, with Bio::Expression, is that Resequencing chips are
not belongs to Expression chips.
(Expression chips are designed to hybridisize RNA strands and hence
measure RNA expression levels, on the other hand a resequencing chip is
based on DNA, also the design and the probe length is quite different).
So, from my point of view it make sence to differ between dna and rna
chips, at least.

OK, need to think about that.
