    pubMedIds(object)
    pubMedIds(object) <- value
    experimentData(object)
    experimentData(object) <- value

### Arguments

`object` | Object, possibly derived from `eSet-class` or `MIAME-class`
`value` | Value to be assigned; see class of `object` (e.g., `eSet-class`) for specifics.

### Value

`abstract` returns a character vector containing the abstract (as in a published paper) associated with `object`.
