[BioC] Summarized Experiments - Combine

[Valerie Obenchain]

Hi Jose,

If the SummarizedExperiment objects have the same rowData you can use 
cbind() to combine the data into a single SE object. This combines the 
data in info() and assays() so the counts of each SE object end up in 
the assays()$counts matrix as separate columns.

cmb <- cbind(SE1, SE2)

In this way you can create one SE object that holds all counts for the 
different experiments. To sum the counts use rowSums() on the count matrix.

rowSums(assays(cmb)$counts)

I have resequenced a subset of samples in my experiment and re-counted them with htseq-count, therefore I end up with a subset of new files with new count data. I wondered whether there is a in-R way of using the SummarizedExperiments data object to sum up the counts of the second Run to the counts of the first run. Of course I know how to do without the DESeqDataSet and other DESeq functions but I thought that maybe there is a quick and safer way by using some `combine` onto 2 different dds (SE) objects of same rowData with samples to sum.
