ExperimentPath-class: (Legacy) "ExperimentPath" class representing a file hierarchy...
In ShortRead: FASTQ input and manipulation

Description Objects from the Class Slots Extends Methods Author(s) Examples

Short read technologies often produce a hierarchy of output files. The content of the hierarchy varies. This class represents the root of the file hierarchy. Specific classes (e.g., SolexaPath) represent different technologies.

Objects from the class are created by calls to the constructor:

ExperimentPath(experimentPath)

experimentPath: character(1) object pointing to the top-level directory of the experiment; see specific technology classes for additional detail.
verbose=FALSE: (optional) logical vector which, when TRUE results in warnings if paths do not exist.

All paths must be fully-specified.

ExperimentPath has one slot, containing a fully specified path to the corresponding directory (described above).

basePath: See above.

The slot is accessed with experimentPath.

Class ".ShortReadBase", directly.

Methods include:

show: signature(object = "ExperimentPath"): briefly summarize the file paths of object.
detail: signature(x = "ExperimentPath"): summarize file paths of x.
