Object Oriented Microarray Library: CG4 Replicate

The CG4 replicate module provides the definition of the cg4.replicate class. See the bottom of the page for an example of how the class can be used.

Class Name: cg4.replicate

Parent Class

The cg4.replicate class is derived from the replicate.pattern class. See the description of that class for the meaning of the attributes

first, second
and for the methods
plot, print, summary, score.replicate.pattern

Attributes

There are no new attributes.

Methods

get.replicate.pattern.cg4.channel(chan, usecontrol)
Constructor. The first (required) argument is a channel object derived from a microarray of model CG4. The optional usecontrol argument is a logical value, which determines whether or not to include the control points in the replicate vectors; the default value is false.
f.splice(a, b, usecontrol=F)
The inverse fiunction to the constructor; this splices two replicate vectors back into a single vector.

Description

An object of the cg4.replicate class only makes sense in the context of the microarrays produced in the Cancer Genomics Core Laboratory at The UT M.D.Anderson Cancer Center, where every gene is spotted in duplicate. This package is used to separate the replicates into a pair of matched vectors.
