Read BeadStudio expression data file
readBead(filenames = NULL, annotation = "", verbose = TRUE)
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 |
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.
