Description

Update the phenotypic data of a GEO series (GSE) record and store the updated phenotypic data into the compendium database

Usage

Arguments

con

list containing a connection object specifying the user name and password to connect or interact with the compendium database (see connectDatabase)

GSEid

data

character matrix object containing all GSM IDs for the GSE specified by GSEid as rownames followed by columns containing updated annotation of the corresponding samples.

 ## Not run: 
#   conn <- connectDatabase(user="usrname",password="passwd",dbname="compendium")
#   
#   GSMdescriptions(conn,"GSE18290")
#   tab <- GSMdescriptions(conn,"GSE18290")
# 
#   # As an example just replace the current annotation by the same annotation
#   updatePhenoData(conn,"GSE18290",tab)
