## ExpressionSet Integration

### Description

Functions loading and retrieving Bioconductor ExpressionSet objects to and from exploRase.

### Usage

    exp_loadExpressionSet(exprset, type = exp_entityType())
    exp_phenoData(type = exp_entityType())
    exp_featureData(type = exp_entityType())
    exp_expressionSet(type = exp_entityType())

### Arguments

`exprset` | The `ExpressionSet` to load.
`type` | The type of the biological entity (e.g. gene).

### Details

To load a `ExpressionSet` instance into exploRase, call `exp_loadExpressionSet`.

The function `exp_expressionSet` retrieves the `ExpressionSet` representing the data stored in exploRase for the given entity type. `exp_phenoData` and `exp_featureData` retrieve only the `phenoData` and `featureData` components, respectively.

### Value

For `exp_expressionSet`, an `ExpressionSet`. For `exp_phenoData`, an `AnnotatedDataFrame` representing the phenotype data (i.e. experimental design, see `exp_designFrame`). For `exp_featureData`, an `AnnotatedDataFrame` representing the feature annotations (i.e. the entity info, see `exp_entityFrame`).
