cbind

Combine methylTFRdeviations objects by column.

Usage

# S4 method for class 'methylTFRdeviations'
cbind(..., deparse.level = 1)

Arguments

...

methylTFRdeviations objects.

deparse.level

passed to the underlying method.

Value

A methylTFRdeviations object.

Details

Defined explicitly rather than left to inheritance. Although methylTFRdeviations extends SummarizedExperiment, whether that class's cbind method is found for a subclass defined in another package depends on the search path and on the Bioconductor version: dispatch can fall through to the S4Vectors method, which then fails with "unable to find an inherited method for function 'bindCOLS'".

The objects are therefore coerced to SummarizedExperiment explicitly, combined there, and re-wrapped. This is defined with setMethod on the existing generic rather than setGeneric, so it does not shadow the base function and any number of objects can be combined.

Examples

load(system.file("extdata", "tc_mem.rda", package = "methylTFR"))
load(system.file("extdata", "tc_naive.rda", package = "methylTFR"))
devs <- cbind(tc_mem, tc_naive)
