[BioC] phenoData

[James MacDonald]

If you look in the Biobase vignette, there is a section that explains
how to make a phenoData object by hand. Basically what you need is a
data.frame containing the phenodata information, and a list
corresponding to the labels you want for the phenoData object.

Alternatively, you can use widgets to make the phenoData object as part
of reading in your cel files.

dat <- ReadAffy(widget=TRUE)

HTH,

Jim

Hi,

I have a beginners  type question. I see that in simpleaffy one tells 
bioconductor what the samples represent through having a  tab 
deliminated covdesc file in the same folder as the .cel files. Other 
packages use phenoData which I gather is seen with the pData(eset) 
command, how does one  make a  phenoData file and where is it kept?

thanks
simon
