Description Usage Arguments Details Value Author(s) See Also Examples

makeLRBasePackage is a method that generates a package that will load an appropriate LRBaseDb object that will in turn point to existing annotation packages.

makeLRBasePackage(pkgname, data, metadata, organism,
    pkgtitle="An annotation package for the LRBaseDb object",
    pkgdescription=paste("Contains the LRBaseDb object",
            "to access data from several related annotation packages."),
    version, maintainer, author, destDir, license="Artistic-2.0")

`pkgname`	The package name. We highly recommend that the name is ABC.XXX.eg.db-type, where ABC is some character and XXX is a abbreviation of organisms such as Hsa: Homo sapiens
`data`	Data frame contains Ligand GENEID (e.g., 100036770), Receptor GENEID (e.g., 100036770), SOURCEID (PMID), and SOURCEDB (e.g., FANTOM5)
`metadata`	Data frame contains metadata of the package
`organism`	The name of the organism this package represents
`pkgtitle`	The title of this package written in DESCRIPTION file
`pkgdescription`	The description of this package written in DESCRIPTION file
`version`	The version number of this package
`maintainer`	The maintainer who creates the package (must include email to be valid)
`author`	The creator of the package
`destDir`	A path where the package source should be assembled.
`license`	The license and it's version

The purpose of this method is to create a special package that will depend on existing annotation packages and which will load a special LRBaseDb object that will allow proper dispatch of special select methods. These methods will allow the user to easily query across multiple annotation resources via information contained by the LRBaseDb object. Because the end result will be a package that treats all the data mapped together as a single source, the user is encouraged to take extra care to ensure that the different packages used are from the same build etc.

A special package to load an LRBaseDb object.
