methyAnalysis (version 1.14.0)

MethyGenoSet-class: Class MethyGenoSet: contain and describe Illumina Infinium methylation data in GenoSet-class

Description

This is a class representation for Illumina Infinium methylation microarray data. It directly extends GenoSet. The purpose of this class is to make the high-density methylation microarray data MethyLumiM-class compatible with the Biocoductor infrastructure packages designed for sequencing analysis.

Extends

Directly extends class GenoSet.

Creating Objects

MethyGenoSet(rowRanges, exprs, methylated, unmethylated, detection = NULL, pData = NULL, annotation = "", universe = NULL, assays=NULL, ...) MethyGenoSet instances are usually created through converting from MethyLumiM object using MethyLumiM2GenoSet function or calling MethyGenoSet function as shown above. The arguments, rowRanges, exprs, methylated and unmethylated, are required; others can be missing. Please check GenoSet for more details of other parameters.

Slots

rowRanges:

a GRanges or RangedData object, inherited from SummarizedExperiment

assays:

contains equal dimensional matrices: exprs (contains the methylation M-value, same as MethyLumiM-class), methylated (contains the methylated probe intensities. Same as MethyLumiM-class), unmethylated (contains the unmethylated probe intensities. Same as MethyLumiM-class), detection (records the detection p-value of the probe. Same as MethyLumiM-class). For more details of assays, please see SummarizedExperiment

colData:

See colData

annotation:

the annotation library of methylation data

history:

a data.frame recording the operation history of the MethyGenoSet object.

Methods

Class-specific methods:

exprs(MethyGenoSet), exprs(MethyGenoSet,matrix)<-:

Access and set elements named exprs in the assays slot.

methylated(MethyGenoSet), methylated(MethyGenoSet)<-:

Access and set elements named methylated in the assays slot.

unmethylated(MethyGenoSet), unjmethylated(MethyGenoSet)<-:

Access and set elements named unmethylated in the assays slot.

detection(MethyGenoSet), detection(MethyGenoSet)<-:

Access and set elements named detection in the assays slot.

as(methyGenoSet,"MethyLumiM")

Coerce objects of MethyGenoSet-class to MethyLumiM

as(genoSet,"MethyGenoSet")
