Read BeadStudio expression data file

Description

Read BeadStudio expression data file

Usage

readBead(filenames = NULL, annotation = "", verbose = TRUE)

Arguments

filenames A character filename or vector of filenames corresponding to the Illumina BeadStudio 'gene profile.csv' file
annotation A character representing a unique name to give to the analysis
verbose Logical, specifying whether a commentary should be provided

Details

Reads an Illumina 'gene profile.csv' file produced by BeadStudio. Multiple filenames can be specified as a vector and the data are then combined into one output file. This function should only really be used for custom analysis as the beadAnalysis() function provides easier, flexible use.

Value

A beadData-class object containing the BeadChip informations (combined if multiple files are submitted)
