Annotated-class {IRanges} | R Documentation |
The virtual class Annotated
is used to standardize the
storage of metadata with a subclass.
The Annotated
class supports the storage of global metadata in a
subclass. This is done through the metadata
slot that stores a list
object.
In the following code snippets, x
is an Annotated
object.
metadata(x)
, metadata(x) <- value
: Get or set the list
holding arbitrary R objects as annotations. May be, and often is, empty.
