## Microbial Assemblage Normalized Transcript Analysis - class

### Description

A simple list-based class for storing read counts from digital gene expression technologies and other important information for the analysis of (meta)transcriptomic data.

### Slots/List Components

Objects of this class contain (at least) the following list components:

`counts`: numeric matrix containing the read counts.

`samples`: data.frame containing the library size and group labels.

Additionally the class should contain the following meta/taxinomic information list components:

`meta`: numeric matrix containing the read counts.

`meta.sum`: data.frame containing the library size and group labels.

Also, the list could also contain further optional information:

`genes`: data.frame containing further gene annotation information for each row in counts.

### Methods

This class inherits directly from class `list` so any operation appropriate for lists will work on objects of this class. `manta` objects also have a `show` method.
