_D_e_s_c_r_i_p_t_i_o_n:

     This function automatically inserts information about the
     chromosomal postional of a clone into the $genes matrix of an
     RGList or MAList. This information is used in all the available
     segmentation methods as well as many of the plotting functions
     available in snapCGH.

_U_s_a_g_e:

     readPositionalInfo(input, source, path = NULL)

_A_r_g_u_m_e_n_t_s:

   input: An object of class 'RGList' or 'MAList'

  source: Defines which platform or technology this data was produced
          on.  Currently supported options are: "aglient", "bluefuse",
          "nimblegen".  This list will be expanded in time.

    path: Optional parameter to specify where the original data is
          stored. Defaults to the current working directory.  This
          option is only required for reading "bluefuse" data at the
          moment, as chromosome information isn't read by limma as
          default.
