Task: Class Definition Understanding (ontology: Sciences/Computer_Science)

Which of the following definitions best describes 'panp'?

A. Spot segmentation via model-based clustering and gridding for blocks within microarray slides
B. FlowJo is a commercial GUI based software package from TreeStar Inc. for the visualization and analysis of flow cytometry data. One of the FlowJo standard export file types is the "FlowJo Workspace". This is an XML document that describes files and manipulations that have been performed in the FlowJo GUI environment. This package can take apart the FlowJo workspace and deliver the data into R in the flowCore paradigm.
C. A function to make gene presence/absence calls based on distance from negative strand matching probesets (NSMP) which are derived from Affymetrix annotation. the concept is applied after gene expression values are created, and therefore can be used after any preprocessing method such as MAS5 or GCRMA, or PM-only methods like RMA. NSMP sets have been established for the HGU133A and HGU133-Plus-2.0 chipsets to date.
D. Transcript mapping with high-density oligonucleotide tiling arrays
