mircomb: An R package for analyzing miRNA-mRNA interactions

Description Usage Arguments Details Value Examples

Remove samples or miRNA/mRNA from a corObject.

1	removeSamp(obj, dataset, samples = NA, genes = NA, keep=FALSE)

`obj`	a `corObject`
`dataset`	`"miRNA"` or `"mRNA"`
`samples`	colnames of the samples to be removed.
`genes`	rownames of the genes (mRNA or miRNA) to be removed.
`keep`	TRUE (keep given colnames/rownames) or FALSE. By default, FALSE.

Genes are removed from miRNAdat/mRNAdat slots. Samples are removed from both pheno.miRNA/pheno.mRNA and miRNAdat/mRNAdat slots.

Take into account that minimum number of required samples is 2, otherwise the function will give an error.

a corObject with the selected samples already removed.
