Defines functions downloadPublicSeries

Documented in downloadPublicSeries

#' Download automatically samples from NCBI/GEO and ArrayExpress public databases.
#'
#' Download automatically samples from series of either microarray and RNA-seq. Furthermore, both NCBI/GEO and ArrayExpress public databases are supported. In the case of Microarray, the raw file are downloaded, if they are available, but for RNA-seq a csv is created with the necessary information to download the samples with the function \code{\link{rawAlignment}}.
#'
#' @param samplesVector A vector which contains the different IDs of the wanted series. These IDs are the IDs of the series from NCBI/GEO or ArrayExpress.
#' @return Nothing to return.
#' @examples
#' downloadPublicSeries(c("GSE74251"))
