1. How to create a "contamination" database?

A full example is provided in the examples folder (you may also see the file http://code.google.com/p/irap/source/browse/examples/ex_add2contaminationDB.sh here).

2. How do I specify that I have technical replicates? Through the "technical.replicates". For instance, in a dataset with 4 samples (designated as s1, s2, s3,and s4) where s1 and s2 are technical replicates and then that information is provided in the experiment configuration file as follows:

technical.replicates="s1,s2;s3;s4"

So, technical replicates are provided together separated by a comma.
