getDataset: Get dataset in ExpressionSet format
In inSilicoDb: Access to the InSilico Database

Description Usage Arguments Value References See Also Examples

Get dataset for a given dataset identifier and platform identifier in a specific format.

1	getDataset(dataset, platform, ...);

dataset

Valid dataset identifier: the GEO or InSilico DB accession code.

platform

The platform of the chip on which a measurement was done. A platform is identified by its GEO accession code.

...

Optional arguments can be passed to the function for more specific requests:

format = "CURESET"

File format in which the dataset should be returned.

Possible values:

CURESET : Curated R/Bioconductor ExpressionSet.
ESET : R/Bioconductor ExpressionSet without curation.

features = "PROBE"

Type of features in which data is represented. Two possible values: "GENE" or "PROBE". By default an expression matrix containing probes is returned.

norm = "ORIGINAL"

Type of normalization to use when pre-processing a dataset.

Possible normalizations: "ORIGINAL", "FRMA"[1], "SCAN"[2].

curation

Specific curation used to annotate a dataset. A curation is identified by a InSilico DB Curation identifier. You can annotate datasets yourself at https://insilicodb.com/app/browse If not defined, the prefered curation of specified dataset will be used.

timeout = 120

Time (in seconds) to wait for the dataset, if it has to be generated.

A Bioconductors ExpressionSet.
