[BioC] edgeR: plotBCV, gof() and plotMDS, for outlier detection

[Ryan]

That BCV plot looks bizarre, with the two bands. What does the BCV plot 
look like if you exclude the outlier sample? Does the double-banding go 
away? Does the prior.df change?

Regardless, I think it's pretty clear from the MDS that this sample is 
an outlier and should probably be excluded from your analysis.
