Arguments

assay

Character string specifying the path and filename of a tab-delimited .txt file containing a matrix of expression values (e.g. counts, FPKMs, TPMs, etc.) with cells in columns and genes in rows. Be sure to include cell and gene names as header and row names!

pheno

Character string specifying the path and filename tab-delimited .txt file containing information about the cells in separate columns. Be sure that the row names in this file match the column names in assayData (can be a subset)

feature

Character string specifying the path and filename of a tab-delimited .txt file containing information about the genes in separate columns. Be sure that the row names in this file match the row names in assayData (can be a subset)

experiment

Character string specifying the path and filename of a tab-delimited .txt file containing additional information about all the column headers in the phenoData file in separate columns. Be sure that the row names in this file match the column headers in the phenoData file.

Value

ExpressionSet object containg matrix of expression values, phenoData, assayData, and experimentData.
