Description Usage Arguments Value Author(s) See Also Examples

Eliminate duplicate names from the gene list. The new list is shorter than the full list by a factor of ndups.

1	uniquegenelist(genelist,ndups=2,spacing=1)

`genelist`	vector of gene names
`ndups`	number of duplicate spots. The number of rows of `genelist` must be divisible by `ndups`.
`spacing`	the spacing between duplicate names in `genelist`

A vector of length length(genelist)/ndups containing each gene name once only.
