Digital Gene Expression data - class

Description

A simple list-based class for storing read counts from digital gene expression technologies.

Slots/List Components

Objects of this class contain the following list components:
data: numeric matrix containing the read counts.
lib.size: numeric vector containing the total number of reads for each library (column of code).
group: vector giving the experimental group/condiction.
