Yes. Gquantile normalization is designed for experiments with a common
reference always on the green channel. Quantile normalization is applied to
the green channels and then the red channel is adjusted proportionally for
each spot on each array.

Tquantile applies quantile normalization separately to subgroups of
channels. You should specify a target name for each channel on each array
so that everything is normalized.

This has nothing to do with "composite" normalization, which is a
within-array normalization technique.
