\title{Creating a probeAnno object}
\description{This function allows the user to create a probeAnno environment that holds the mapping between
probes on the array and their genomic match position(s). The function takes an Affymetrix bpmap file as input.}
\usage{
bpmapToProbeAnno(bpmap, verbose=T, uniqueSeq=T)
}
\arguments{
\item{ bpmap}{ 	Either a list, created by the function readBpmap() from the affy package. Or a path to the bpmap file. }
\item{verbose}{ should the progress be printed out?}
\item{uniqueSeq}{ If TRUE, probes sequences that occur more than once on the chip (and consequently match several positions on the genome) are set to 1 in the probeAnno object. Unique probes are set to 0. If false, all probes are set to 0. To identify all unique and multiple matching probes, a remapping of the probes to the genome is recommended.}
