abstract               package:Biobase               R Documentation

Retrieve Meta-data from eSets and ExpressionSets.

Description:

     These generic functions access generic data, abstracts, PubMed IDs
     and experiment data from instances of the  'eSet-class' or
     'ExpressionSet-class'.

Usage:

     abstract(object)
     pubMedIds(object)
     pubMedIds(object) <- value
     experimentData(object)
     experimentData(object) <- value

Arguments:

  object: Object, possibly derived from 'eSet-class' or  'MIAME-class'

   value: Value to be assigned; see class of 'object' (e.g.,
          'eSet-class') for specifics.

Value:

     'abstract' returns a character vector containing the abstract (as
     in a published paper) associated with 'object'.

     'pubMedIds' returns a character vector of PUBMED IDs associated
     with the experiment.

     'experimentData' returns an object representing the description of
     an experiment, e.g., an object of 'MIAME-class'
