produceMethylationGEOSubmissionFile: Produce GEO Sample Submission File of Illumina methylation...

In lumi: BeadArray Specific Methods for Illumina Methylation and Expression Microarrays

Description

Produce GEO Sample Submission File in the SOFT format based on the provided MethyLumiM object and sample information

Usage

produceMethylationGEOSubmissionFile(methyLumiM, methyLumiM.raw = NULL, lib.mapping = NULL, idType = "Probe", sampleInfo = NULL, fileName = "GEOSubmissionFile.txt", supplementaryRdata = FALSE, ...)

Arguments

methyLumiM	The normalized data in MethyLumiM class
methyLumiM.raw	The raw data in MethyLumiM class
lib.mapping	Currently not used for Illumina methylation data
idType	Currently no other options for Illumina methylation data
sampleInfo	The sample information filename or data.frame, which is returned by produceGEOSampleInfoTemplate
fileName	The file name of GEO Submission file
supplementaryRdata	determine whether produce the Rdata supplement data, which include both methyLumiM and methyLumiM.raw R objects.
...	other parameters used by function nuID2IlluminaID, but not implemented for methylation data

Details

The function produces the GEO sample submission file including both normalized and raw data information in the SOFT format. The sample information should be provided by the user as a data.frame or Tab separated text file following the format of the template, which can be produced by function produceGEOSampleInfoTemplate. Users need to fill in the detailed sample descriptions in the template, especially the Sample\_title, Sample\_description and some protocols. Users are also required to fill in the "Sample\_platform\_id" by checking information of the GEO Illumina platform.

When the parameter "supplementaryRdata" is TRUE, the R objects, methyLumiM, methyLumiM.raw and sampleInfo, will be saved in a file named 'supplementaryData.Rdata'.

Value

Save the result as a text file in SOFT sample submission format. The supplementary Rdata will be saved in a file 'supplementaryData.Rdata'.
