codelink (version 1.40.2)

fc2Cond: Select probes based on fold change calculation

Description

Takes a Codelink object and calculate fold changes (M) between two conditions (samples). Then select genes based on those who pass the passed cutoff.

Usage

fc2Cond(object, cond1=NULL, cond2=NULL, fc=1.0, verbose=FALSE)

Arguments

object
an object of class "Codelink".
cond1
numeric or character; First condition to compute M.
cond2
numeric or character; Second condition to compute M.
fc
value of the fold change cutoff
verbose
logical; if some information is printed on the console.

Value

Details

Conditions can be passed as characters or as numeric index from the sample slot. The intensities are internally transformed to log2 if needed. The M value is computed as:

M = cond1 - cond2
