shortenGeneDescription

a data frame. Typically, the output of <code><a href="/link/buildSNPannotation?package=scrime&version=1.2.9" rd-options="" data-mini-rdoc="scrime::buildSNPannotation">buildSNPannotation</a></code>.

character string comprising the name of the column of <code>dat</code>
    containing the gene description.

colname

integer specifying the maximum number of genes associated with the respective
    SNP that should be stored in the data frame. By default, the first two genes are retained. 
    Shortened entries are marked by <code>...</code> at the end of the entries,

max.length

character string specifying the separation symbol between the different genes.

should <code>...</code> be added at the entries which are shortened?

add.ldots

Shortens the entries of the column of a data frame containing the genes
  associated with the SNPs for which the data frame comprises annotations.
  Typically used in combination with, i.e. either within or after an application of,
  <code><a href="/link/buildSNPannotation?package=scrime&version=1.2.9" rd-options="" data-mini-rdoc="scrime::buildSNPannotation">buildSNPannotation</a>.</code>

utilities

Tools for the analysis of high-dimensional data
        developed/implemented at the group "Statistical Complexity
        Reduction In Molecular Epidemiology" (SCRIME).  Main focus is
        on SNP data. But most of the functions can also be applied to
        other types of categorical data.
