\title{This object contains an ExpressionSet } 

\description{
This object contains an ExpressionSet and has the following additional slots: 
genomeName, featureSequence, featurePosition, featureChromosome, featureCopyNumber
}

\details{
Tiling set objects can also be combined using the \code{rbind} methods. This is particularly useful when several arrays span a genome/chromosome.
