     ...: 'SegList' objects

deparse.level: not currently used, see 'cbind' in the base package

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

     'cbind' combines data objects assuming the same gene lists but
     different arrays.

     For 'cbind', the matrices of expression data from the individual
     objects are cbinded. The data.frames of target information, if
     they exist, are rbinded. The combined data object will preserve
     any additional components or attributes found in the first object
     to be combined. It is not recommend to use the is 'rbind' function
     for the 'SegList' object.  This is because it would require
     'SegLists' with mutually exclusive chromosomes or would result in
     combining multiple different segmentations for the same
     chromosome, which is pointless.  If 'rbind' is required perform it
     on an 'MAList' and then segment it. It is currently only included
     as an internal function called within other library functions.

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

     An 'SegList' object holding data from all the arrays and all genes
     from the individual objects.

     Gordon Smyth, modified by Mike Smith for SegList object

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