_D_e_s_c_r_i_p_t_i_o_n:

     Documentation on S4 class "smlSet" an eSet-derived container for
     snpMatrix lists, allowing efficient combination of SNP chip
     genotyping with microarray expression data, and allied classes

_O_b_j_e_c_t_s _f_r_o_m _t_h_e _C_l_a_s_s:

     Objects can be created by calls of the form 'new("smlSet",
     assayData, phenoData, featureData, experimentData, annotation,
     ...)'. These objects respond to interrogation on samples,
     expression values, SNP values, and other metadata.

_S_l_o_t_s:


     '_s_m_l_E_n_v': Object of class '"environment"' an environment with
          single key 'smList' pointing to a list of package snpMatrix
          snp.matrix instances 

     '_o_r_g_a_n_i_s_m': Object of class '"character"' informal, "Hs"
          recommended for human 

     '_a_s_s_a_y_D_a_t_a': Object of class '"AssayData"' intended to hold
          expression data coordinated with the smlEnv data 

     '_p_h_e_n_o_D_a_t_a': Object of class '"AnnotatedDataFrame"'  standard
          sample-level data container from eSet design 

     '_f_e_a_t_u_r_e_D_a_t_a': Object of class '"AnnotatedDataFrame"'  standard
          feature-level metadata container, implied usage is for
          documenting the expresion data elements 

     '_e_x_p_e_r_i_m_e_n_t_D_a_t_a': Object of class '"MIAME"' standard metadata
          container from Biobase eSet design 

     '_a_n_n_o_t_a_t_i_o_n': Object of class '"character"' vector giving the
          Bioconductor annotation package (.db type) for decoding
          expression feature identifiers. 

     '.___c_l_a_s_s_V_e_r_s_i_o_n__': Object of class '"Versions"' class version
          tracking metadata 

_E_x_t_e_n_d_s:

     Class 'eSet', directly. Class 'VersionedBiobase',  by class
     "eSet", distance 2. Class 'Versioned', by class "eSet",  distance
     3.

_M_e_t_h_o_d_s:


     _s_m_L_i_s_t 'signature(x = "smlSet")': retrieves the actual list of
          snp.matrix entities 

     _s_m_l_E_n_v 'signature(x = "smlSet")': retrieves the environment
          holding snp.matrix entities 

     _e_x_p_r_s 'signature(x = "smlSet")': retrieves the matrix of
          expression values 

     _s_n_p_s 'signature(x = "smlSet", chr = "chrnum")': retrieves the raw
          matrix of genotype values (snp.matrix instance from snpMatrix
          package 

     '_c_o_m_b_i_n_e': concatenates expression data and forms intersection of
          SNP sets

     '_g_e_t_A_l_l_e_l_e_s(_s_m_l_S_e_t, _r_s_i_d)': returns A/B notations for SNP
          determined by rsid

_N_o_t_e:

     We have included a '[' method for snp.matrix instances that
     accepts an rsid instance as a column selector.

_S_e_e _A_l_s_o:

     GGtools package makes extensive use of these classes and methods.
