fillBatchInformation
void fillBatchInformation(ExpressionExperiment ee,
boolean force)
throws BatchInfoPopulationException
Attempt to obtain batch information from the data provider and populate it into the given experiment. The method
used may vary. For GEO, the default method is to download the raw data files, and look in them for a date. This
is not implemented for every possible type of raw data file. For RNA-seq, we look for FASTQ headers under the
configured FASTQ_HEADERS_ROOT.
