cdfMergeStrands: Function to join CDF groups with the same names

Description

Function to join CDF groups with the same names.

This function is design to be used with applyCdfGroups() on an Affymetrix Mapping (SNP) CDF list structure.

This can be used to join the sense and anti-sense groups of the same allele in SNP arrays.

Usage

cdfMergeStrands(groups, ...)

Arguments

groups
A list structure with groups.
...
Not used.

Value

Returns a list structure with only two groups.

Details

If a unit has two strands, they are merged such that the elements for the second strand are concattenated to the end of the elements of first strand (This is done seperately for the two alleles).
