get_experiments: Provides a list of experiments from a .ribo file
In mjgeng/ribor: An R Interface for Ribo Files

Description Usage Arguments Details Value See Also Examples

The function get_experiments provides a list of experiment names in the .ribo file.

1	get_experiments(ribo.object)

ribo.object

S4 object of class "Ribo"

get_experiments returns a list of strings denoting the experiments. It obtains this by reading directly from the .ribo file through the path of the 'ribo.object' parameter. To generate the param 'ribo.object', call the Ribo function and provide the path to the .ribo file of interest.

The user can then choose to create a subset from this list for any specific experiments of interest for later function calls. Many functions that have the param 'experiment.list' call get_experiments to generate a default list of all experiments in the .ribo file.

A list of the experiment names

Ribo to generate the necessary ribo.object parameter

#generate the ribo object
file.path <- system.file("extdata", "sample.ribo", package = "ribor")
sample <- Ribo(file.path)

#get a list of the experiments
get_experiments(sample)
