Microarray signal channel description

Description

With this object it is possible to describe the signal channels of a microarray experiment. This object establishes the linkage between the sample that was hybridized onto a specific signal channel of a microarray (signal channels correspond to the columns of the exprs slot of a MadbSet (or ExpressionSet)). \ For further informations and examples refer to the package vignette (which can be opened using the openMadbVignette).

Slots

hyb.date:
The date when the sample was hybridized onto the array.
label.date:
The date when the sample was labeled.
label.incorporation:
The method that was used to label the RNA.
color:
A description of the color that was used.
description:
A description.
array.index:
The index of the corresponding array in the MadbSet object.
sample.index:
The index of the corresponding sample in the samples slot of the MadbSet object.
array.name:
The micro array name or ID.

Methods

createNewDBTable
signature(object = "SignalChannel"): creates a new database table that can be used to store objects from the type SignalChannel into.
getContentMatrix
signature(object = "SignalChannel"): returns the content of the slots of the SignalChannel object as a character matrix.
