RDMLR Documentation

R6 class RDML – contains methods to read and overview fluorescence data from RDML v1.1 and v1.2 format files

Description

Main purpose of this class is to work with RDML format data (Lefever et al. 2009) and transform it to the appropriate format of the qpcR (Ritz et al. 2008, Spiess et al. 2008) and chipPCR packages (see RDML.new for import details). Real-time PCR Data Markup Language (RDML) is the recommended file format element in the Minimum Information for Publication of Quantitative Real-Time PCR Experiments (MIQE) guidelines (Bustin et al. 2009). Inner structure of imported data mimics structure of RDML file v1.2. All data except fluorescence values can be represented as data.frame by method AsTable. Such variant of data representation allows easy samples filtering (by targets, types, etc.) and serves as request for GetFData method – gets fluorescence data for specified samples.

Usage

RDML

Format

An R6Class generator object.

Fields

Type, structure of data and description of fields can be viewed at RDML v1.2 file description. Names of fields are first level of XML tree.

Methods

new

creates new instance of RDML class object (see RDML.new)

AsTable

represent RDML data as data.frame (see RDML.AsTable)

GetFData

gets fluorescence data (see RDML.GetFData)

SetFData

sets fluorescence data (see RDML.SetFData)

Merge

merges two RDML to one (see MergeRDMLs)

AsDendrogram

represents structure of RDML object as dendrogram(see RDML.AsDendrogram)
