Usage
read.AnnotatedDataFrame(filename, path, sep = "\t", header = TRUE, quote = "", stringsAsFactors = FALSE, row.names = 1L, varMetadata.char="#", widget = getOption("BioC")$Base$use.widgets, sampleNames = character(0), ...)
write.AnnotatedDataFrame(x, file="", varMetadata.char="#", ..., append=FALSE, fileEncoding="")
Arguments
filename, file
file or connection from which to read / write.
x
An instance of class AnnotatedDataFrame
.
path
(optional) directory in which to find filename
