mapToList: Convert map from data.frame or DataFrame to list and vice...

In vjcitn/MultiAssayExperiment: Software for the integration of multi-omics experiments in Bioconductor

Description

The mapToList function provides a convenient way of reordering a data.frame to a list. The listToMap function does the opposite by taking a list and converting it to DataFrame.

Usage

listToMap(listmap, type = "colnames")

mapToList(dfmap, assayCol = "assay")

Arguments

listmap	A named list object containing either experiments (assays), samples (colnames) or features (rownames)
type	Any of the valid types of maps including colnames, rownames, and assays.
dfmap	A data.frame or DataFrame object with identifiers in the first column
assayCol	A character vector of length one indicating the assay names column

Value

A DataFrame class object of names

A list object of DataFrames for each assay

Functions

• listToMap: Inverse of the listToMap function

Examples

example("MultiAssayExperiment")

## Create a sampleMap from a list using the listToMap function
mySampleMap <- listToMap(mylist)

## The inverse operation is also available
mylist <- mapToList(mySampleMap)
