Description Usage Arguments Value Author(s) See Also Examples

Description

If the assay.filename uses the microarray technology, it retrieves an object of the class MIAME with the minimum information about the experiment. Otherwise, it outputs a message indicating that the method is not valid for assays not using the microarray technology.

Usage

1
getMIAMEMetadata(isa, assay.filename)

Arguments

isa

An object of the ISAtab-class.

assay.filename

A string indicating the name of an assay file. It must correspond to a microarray-based assay for the function to return a valid value.

Value
