unionMicro(M1, M2)

Arguments

M1

a micro-array or a list of micro-arrays

M2

Examples

if(require(CascadeData)){
data(micro_S, package="CascadeData")
#Create another microarray object with 100 genes
Mbis<-M<-as.micro_array(micro_S[1:100,],1:4,6)
#Rename the 100 genes
Mbis@name<-paste(M@name,"bis")
rownames(Mbis@microarray) <- Mbis@name
#Union (merge without duplicated names) of the two microarrays. 
str(unionMicro(M,Mbis))
