parseGEO {GEOquery} | R Documentation |
Workhorse GEO parsers.
parseGEO(con, GSElimits) parseGPL(txt) parseGDS(txt) parseGSE(con, GSElimits) parseGSM(txt)
txt |
The text from a GEO SOFT format file |
con |
A connection that contains the body of a GEO SOFT format file |
GSElimits |
Used to limit the number of GSMs parsed into the GSE object; useful for memory management for large GSEs. |
These are probably not useful to the end-user. Use getGEO to access these functions. parseGEO simply delegates to the appropriate specific parser. There should be no reason to use the parseGPL, parseGDS, parseGSE, or parseGSM functions directly.
parseGEO returns an object of the associated type. For example, if it is passed the text from a GDS entry, a GDS object is returned.
