SignalChannel-class {maDB}R Documentation

Micro array signal channel description

Description

With this object it is possible to describe the signal channels of a micro array experiment. This object establishes the linkage between the sample that was hybridized onto a micro array and the signal channel that was used for this sample. It is therefore possible to use the same type of object (namely the EexprSet object) with both one signal channel arrays like Affymetrix and two or more signal channel micro arrays.

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 EexprSet object.
sample.index:
The index of the corresponding sample in the samples slot of the EexprSet 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.
show
signature(object = "SignalChannel"): Displays the objects content.
