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

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

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, fill = TRUE)

mapToList(dfmap, assayCol = "assay")

Arguments

listmap	A named list object containing DataFrames with "primary" and "colname" columns
fill	logical(1) Whether to fill the map with an empty DataFrame when empty elements are present in the input list
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(): The inverse of the listToMap operation

Examples

example("MultiAssayExperiment")

## Create a sampleMap from a list using the listToMap function
sampMap <- listToMap(maplist)

## The inverse operation is also available
maplist <- mapToList(sampMap)
