abstract - Class: bioma.ExpressionSet
Package: bioma

Retrieve or set abstract describing experiment in ExpressionSet object

Syntax

Description

Abstract = abstract(ESObj) returns a string containing the abstract information describing the experiment from a MIAME object in an ExpressionSet object.

NewESObj = abstract(ESObj, NewAbstract) replaces the abstract information in the MIAME object in ESObj, an ExpressionSet object, with NewAbstract, a string containing new abstract information, and returns NewESObj, a new ExpressionSet object.

Input Arguments

ESObj	Object of the bioma.ExpressionSet class.
NewAbstract	String containing new abstract information.

Output Arguments

Abstract	String containing the abstract information describing the experiment from a MIAME object in an ExpressionSet object.
NewESObj	Object of the bioma.ExpressionSet class, returned after replacing the abstract information.

Examples

Construct an ExpressionSet object, ESObj, as described in the Examples section of the bioma.ExpressionSet class reference page. Retrieve the abstract information stored in the MIAME object stored in the ExpressionSet object:

% Retrieve abstract text from the MIAME object
Abstract = abstract(ESObj)
