read-functions: Import of ‘.cls’ and ‘.gct’ files

Description

Import the groups from ‘.cls’ files and the expression data from ‘.gct’ files.

Usage

Value

For a ‘.cls’ file, a factor containing the groups.For a ‘.gct’ file, a matrix containing the expression intensities, with rows corresponding to genes and columns to samples.

Details

With these methods the expression data and the assignment of the samples to groups can be read from ‘.cls’ (categorical class) and ‘.gct’ (gene cluster text) files, respectively.
