_D_e_s_c_r_i_p_t_i_o_n:

     These generic functions access the feature names (typically, gene
     or SNP identifiers) and sample names stored in an object derived
     from the 'eSet-class' or 'exprSet-class'. 'geneNames' and
     'featureNames' offer similar functionality, but 'featureNames' is
     the preferred method.

_U_s_a_g_e:

     featureNames(object)
     featureNames(object) <- value
     sampleNames(object)
     sampleNames(object) <- value
     geneNames(object)
     geneNames(object) <- value

_A_r_g_u_m_e_n_t_s:

  object: Object, possibly derived from class 'eSet'

   value: Character vector containing feature or sample names

_V_a_l_u_e:

     'featureNames' and 'geneNames' return a (usually long!) character
     vector uniquely identifying each feature.'sampleNames' returns a
     (usually shorter) character vector identifying samples.

_A_u_t_h_o_r(_s):

_S_e_e _A_l_s_o:

     'exprSet-class', 'ExpressionSet-class', 'SnpSet-class'
