Class MIAME
covers MIAME entries that are not covered by other classes
in Bioconductor. Namely, experimental design, samples, hybridizations,
normalization controls, and pre-processing information. The MIAME
class
is derived from MIAxE
.
name
:Object of class character
containing the experimenter name
lab
:Object of class character
containing the laboratory where the experiment was conducted
contact
:Object of class character
containing contact information for lab and/or experimenter
title
:Object of class character
containing a single-sentence experiment title
abstract
:Object of class character
containing an abstract describing the experiment
url
:Object of class character
containing a URL for the experiment
samples
:Object of class list
containing information about the samples
hybridizations
:Object of class list
containing information about the hybridizations
normControls
:Object of class list
containing information about the controls such as house keeping genes
preprocessing
:Object of class list
containing information about the pre-processing steps used on the raw data from this experiment
pubMedIds
:Object of class character
listing strings of PubMed identifiers of papers relevant to the dataset
other
:Object of class list
containing other information for which none of the above slots does not applies
Constructor methods:
MIAME()
:MIAME(name = "", lab = "", contact = "",
title = "", abstract = "", url = "",
pubMedIds = "" , samples = "",
hybridizations = list(), normControls = list(),
preprocessing = list(), other = list())
:
Creates a new MIAME
object with slots as defined above.
Class-specific methods:
abstract(MIAME)
:An accessor function for abstract
.
combine(MIAME,MIAME)
:Combine two objects of MIAME-class
, issuing warnings when ambiguities encountered.
expinfo(MIAME)
:An accessor function for name
, lab
, contact
, title
, and url
.
hybridizations(MIAME)
:An accessor function for hybridizations
.
normControls(MIAME)
:An accessor function for normControls
.
notes(MIAME), notes(MIAME) <- value
:Accessor functions for other
. notes(MIAME) <- character
appends character to notes; use notes(MIAME) <- list
to replace the notes entirely.
otherInfo(MIAME)
:An accessor function for other
.
preproc(MIAME)
:An accessor function for preprocessing
.
pubMedIds(MIAME), pubMedIds(MIAME) <- value
:Accessor function for pubMedIds
.
samples(MIAME)
:An accessor function for samples
.
Standard generic methods:
updateObject(object, ..., verbose=FALSE)
Update instance to current version, if necessary. See updateObject
isCurrent(object)
Determine whether version of object is current. See isCurrent
isVersioned(object)
Determine whether object contains a 'version' string describing its structure . See isVersioned
show(MIAME)
:Renders information about the MIAME information
