make.gal.env(galname=NULL,
             filename=NULL,
             gal.path=getwd(),
             verbose=FALSE)

Arguments

galname

Character vector. Name to be used for the annotation environment.

filename

Character vector. Name of the GAL file.

gal.path

Character vector. Path to the GAL file.

verbose

Logical. The default value is TRUE. The details of the function execution are displayed on the console.

Details

This function is designed similarly to make.cdf.env from the makecdfenv package. If no filename is provided as argument, the function tries to read the first GAL file in the input path. The returned environment is a hash table. For every probeset name we have a matrix with 2 columns. The first column contains the PM locations and the second column the MM locations. For PM only chips the MM column will have NAs.

Value

None.
