In gCMAP: Tools for Connectivity Map-like analyses

Description

This function merges two eSet objects, if all of the following conditions are met:

• Both objects 'x' and 'y' have to be instances of the same class.

• 'x' and 'y' must be annotated with the same character string in their 'annotation' slots.

• 'x' and 'y' must have the same AssayDataElementNames / channels.

• 'x' and 'y' must have disctinct sampleNames.

• 'x' and 'y' must have the same varLabels / pData columns.

Usage

mergeCMAPs(x, y)

x	An eSet.
y	An eSet of the same class as 'x'

Value

An eSet of the same class as 'x' and 'y'.

Examples

library(Biobase)
data( sample.ExpressionSet)

## Not run: 
## this doesn't work, because 'x' and 'y' have identical sampleNames
mergeCMAPs( sample.ExpressionSet, sample.ExpressionSet)

## End(Not run)

y <- sample.ExpressionSet
sampleNames( y ) <- paste( sampleNames( y ), "y", sep=".")
mergeCMAPs( sample.ExpressionSet, y )
