ExperimentPath-class: (Legacy) "ExperimentPath" class representing a file hierarchy of data
files
Description
Short read technologies often produce a hierarchy of output files. The
content of the hierarchy varies. This class represents the root of the
file hierarchy. Specific classes (e.g.,
SolexaPath) represent different technologies.
Arguments
Objects from the Class
Objects from the class are created by calls to the constructor: ExperimentPath(experimentPath)
experimentPath
character(1) object pointing to the
top-level directory of the experiment; see specific technology
classes for additional detail.
verbose=FALSE
(optional) logical vector which, when
TRUE results in warnings if paths do not exist.
All paths must be fully-specified.
Slots
ExperimentPath has one slot, containing a fully
specified path to the corresponding directory (described above).
basePath
See above.
The slot is accessed with experimentPath.
Extends
Class ".ShortReadBase", directly.
Methods
Methods include:
show
signature(object = "ExperimentPath"): briefly
summarize the file paths of object.
detail
signature(x = "ExperimentPath"): summarize
file paths of x.
