Description

These generic functions access the feature names (typically, gene or SNP identifiers) and sample names stored in an object derived from the eSet-class or exprSet-class.

Usage

abstract(object)
pubMedIds(object)
pubMedIds(object) <- value
experimentData(object)
experimentData(object) <- value

Arguments

object Object, possibly derived from eSet-class or MIAME-class
value Value to be assigned; see class of object (e.g., eSet-class) for specifics.

Value

abstract returns a character vector containing the abstract (as in a published paper) associated with object.
pubMedIds returns a character vector of PUBMED Ids associated with the experiment.
