edgeR (version 3.14.0)

subsetting: Subset DGEList, DGEGLM, DGEExact and DGELRT Objects

Description

Extract a subset of a DGEList, DGEGLM, DGEExact or DGELRT object.

Usage

"["(object, i, j, keep.lib.sizes=TRUE)
"["(object, i, j)
"["(object, i, j)
"["(object, i, j)
"["(object, i, j)

Arguments

object

object of class DGEList, DGEGLM, DGEExact or DGELRT. For subsetListOfArrays, any list of conformal matrices and vectors.

i,j

elements to extract. i subsets the genes while j subsets the libraries. Note that columns of DGEGLM, DGEExact and DGELRT objects cannot be subsetted.

keep.lib.sizes

logical, if TRUE the lib.sizes will be kept unchanged on output, otherwise they will be recomputed as the column sums of the counts of the remaining rows.

Value

An object of the same class as object holding data from the specified subset of rows and columns.

Details

i,j may take any values acceptable for the matrix components of object of class DGEList. See the Extract help entry for more details on subsetting matrices. For DGEGLM, DGEExact and DGELRT objects, only rows (i.e. i) may be subsetted.

Examples

d <- matrix(rnbinom(16,size=1,mu=10),4,4)
rownames(d) <- c("a","b","c","d")
colnames(d) <- c("A1","A2","B1","B2")
d <- DGEList(counts=d,group=factor(c("A","A","B","B")))
d[1:2,]
d[1:2,2]
d[,2]
d <- estimateCommonDisp(d)
results <- exactTest(d)
results[1:2,]
# NB: cannot subset columns for DGEExact objects
