marrayInfo objects.
Usage

cbind(..., deparse.level=1)
## S3 method for class 'marrayNorm'
cbind(..., deparse.level=1)
## S3 method for class 'marrayInfo'
rbind(..., deparse.level=1)
Arguments
...
marrayRaw objects or marrayNorm objects
deparse.level
not currently used, see cbind in the base package
Details
cbind combines data objects assuming the same gene lists but
different arrays.
rbind combines data objects assuming equivalent arrays, i.e., the
same RNA targets, but different genes.
For cbind, the matrices o f expression data from the individual
objects are cbinded.
The data.frames of target information, if they exist, are rbinded.
The combined data object will preserve any additional components or
attributes found in the first object to be combined.
For rbind, the matrices of expression data are rbinded while the
target information, in any, is unchanged.
