Unique.Sym.Estimates: Resolve duplicated gene IDs by computing the mean or the...

In machalen/AnalysisFunctions: Package with basic analysis functions for genomic data

Description

This function removes duplicated gene IDs by calculating the mean or the median of their expression values

Usage

Unique.Sym.Estimates(Annot.Table, operator = "Mean", colName = "Symbol")

Arguments

Annot.Table	Numeric data frame with a unique column of characters corresponding to the gene IDs, the other columns are samples.
operator	Mean or median operator to resolve repeated gene IDs
colName	Name of the column that contains gene symbols.

Details

A gene expression matrix can have repeated gene IDs due to exon or probe annotation. Some methods need to be unique gene ID based. To summarize expression values to a single geneID the mean and median operators can be applied.

Value

Numeric data frame where row names are gene IDs
