character string specifying BGX file to be read in

Illumina provide probe annotation for expression arrays as either tab separated text files or as files with the extension ‘.bgx’. BGX files are in fact just gzipped versions of the text files. This function reads such files and returns a list with two entries, the first containing the target-probe information and the second containing details of the control probes.

A list.
