DaMiR.makeSE: Import RNA-Seq count data and variables

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

View source: R/helper.R

Description

This is an helper function that allows the user to simultaneously import counts, class (mandatory) and variables (optional) data, and creates a SummarizedExperiment object.

Usage

1

Arguments

x

A tab-delimited file which contains RNA-Seq count data. Each row is a feature (i.e. gene, transcript, exon etc.) and each column is a sample

y

A tab-delimited file which contains experiment information. Each row is a sample and each column is a variable. This file must contain at least one column which represent 'class' information for data adjustment and classification; the class column must be labeled as 'class'

Details

Before creating a SummarizedExperiment object, the function performs some checks on input data to ensure that only a matrix of raw counts is accordingly loaded. Other checks allows the identification of missing data (NA) in the data frame of the variables of interest.

Value

A SummarizedExperiment object containing raw counts, class and (optionally) variables of interest.
