contribute {crossmeta} | R Documentation

## Contribute results of meta-analysis to public database.

### Description

Contributed results will be used to build a freely searchable database of gene expression meta-analyses.

### Usage

    contribute(diff_exprs, subject)

### Arguments

`diff_exprs` | Result of call to `diff_expr`.
`subject` | String identifying meta-analysis subject (e.g. "rapamycin" or "prostate_cancer").

### Details

Performs meta-analysis on `diff_exprs` using `es_meta`. Sends overall mean effect size values and minimal information needed to reproduce meta-analysis.

### Value

NULL (used to contribute meta-analysis).

### Examples

    library(lydata)

    # location of data
    data_dir <- system.file("extdata", package = "lydata")

    # gather GSE names
    gse_names  <- c("GSE9601", "GSE15069", "GSE50841", "GSE34817", "GSE29689")

    # load differential expression analyses
    anals <- load_diff(gse_names, data_dir)

    # contribute results of meta-analysis
    # contribute(anals, subject = "LY294002")
