_D_e_s_c_r_i_p_t_i_o_n:

     Functions loading and retrieving Bioconductor ExpressionSet
     objects to and from exploRase.

_U_s_a_g_e:

     exp_loadExpressionSet(exprset, type = exp_entityType())
     exp_phenoData(type = exp_entityType())
     exp_featureData(type = exp_entityType())
     exp_expressionSet(type = exp_entityType())

_A_r_g_u_m_e_n_t_s:

 exprset: The 'ExpressionSet' to load. 

    type: The type of the biological entity (e.g. gene). 

_D_e_t_a_i_l_s:

     To load a 'ExpressionSet' instance into exploRase, call
     'exp_loadExpressionSet'.

     The function 'exp_expressionSet' retrieves the 'ExpressionSet'
     representing the data stored in exploRase for the given entity
     type.  'exp_phenoData' and 'exp_featureData' retrieve only the
     'phenoData' and 'featureData' components, respectively.

_V_a_l_u_e:

     For 'exp_expressionSet', an 'ExpressionSet'. For 'exp_phenoData',
     an 'AnnotatedDataFrame' representing the phenotype data (i.e.
     experimental design, see 'exp_designFrame'). For
     'exp_featureData', an 'AnnotatedDataFrame' representing the
     feature annotations (i.e. the entity info, see 'exp_entityFrame').

_S_e_e _A_l_s_o:

     'explorase' for loading data and starting exploRase in one call.
     'exp_designFrame', 'exp_entityFrame', 'exp_dataset', etc for
     retrieving data from exploRase.
