\begin{Usage}
\begin{verbatim}
featureNames(object)
featureNames(object) <- value
sampleNames(object)
sampleNames(object) <- value

\end{Usage}
\begin{Arguments}
\begin{ldescription}
\item[\code{object}] Object, possibly derived from class \code{eSet}.
\item[\code{value}] Character vector containing feature or sample names.
\end{ldescription}
