Spot-class {genArise} | R Documentation

## Spot - class

### Description

A simple list-based class for storing red and green channel foreground and background intensities for a batch of spotted microarrays and the Ids.

### Creating Objects from the Class

Objects can be created by calls of the form `new("Spot",spot)` where `spot` is a list. Objects are normally created by `read.spot`.

### Slots/List Components

This class contains no slots (other than `.Data`), but objects should contain the following list components:

`Cy5`: | numeric matrix containing the red (cy5) foreground intensities. Rows correspond to spots and columns to arrays.
`Cy3`: | numeric matrix containing the green (cy3) foreground intensities.
`BgCy5`: | numeric matrix containing the red (cy5) background intensities.
`BgCy3`: | numeric matrix containing the green background intensities.
`Id`: | Ids from all the observations.

All of these matrices should have the same dimensions.

### Methods

This class inherits directly from class `list` so any operation appropriate for lists will work on objects of this class.
