list.experiments: Display all experiment names and id's

Description

Display all experiment names and id's in the GATC database

Usage

list.experiments(channel, chip = "HG_U95Av2")

Arguments

channel

the ODBC channel set up through RODBC

chip

the chip type

Value

dataframe with column EXPERIMENT

Details

The GATC database has caused some problems by switching between upper and lower case in an erratic manner. To solve this all names are changed to upper case in the identification of experiments. Thus the function will not distinguish between the experiments 'A' and 'a', but with any sensible naming strategy, the restriction is without consequence

Examples

Run this code

# Not run
library(Rodbc)
channel <- odbcConnect(DBN, USRID, PWD) 
ut <- list.experiments(channel, chip = "hu6800")
colnames(ut)
#[1] "EXPERIMENT"
