lumi (version 2.24.0)

example.lumi: Example Illumina Expression data in LumiBatch class

Description

Example data as a LumiBatch object which is a subset of Barnes data (Barnes, 2005)

Usage

data(example.lumi)

Format

A 'LumiBatch' object

Details

The data is from (Barnes, 2005). It used Sentrix HumanRef-8 Expression BeadChip. Two samples "100US" and "95US:5P" (each has two technique replicates) were selected. In order to save space, 8000 genes were randomly selected. As a result, the example data includes 8000 genes, each has 4 measurements. The full data set was included in the Bioconductor Experiment data package lumiBarnes.

The entire data set has been built as a lumiBarnes data object and can be downloaded from Bioconductor Experiment Data.
