clusterAnnotation-class {goCluster} | R Documentation

## Class "clusterAnnotation", an abstract class that represents functions for annotating microarray datasets.

### Description

This class provides a skeleton for the linkage of gene IDs or other identifiers with annotation information. The annotated data can subsequently be analysed using `goCluster`.

### Slots

`type`:
  Object of class `"character"`, a description of the annotation type.
`annoset`:
  Object of class `"list"`, the annotation data in a list format. Each list element contains annotation data of a specific type. information for one specific data ID and holds annotation data in the format specified with the slot `type`.

Additional slots are described in the documentation of the `clusterModule-class`.

### Methods

config
  `signature(object = "clusterAnnotation")`: This function does nothing since this is an abstract class.
setup
  `signature(object = "clusterAnnotation")`: This function returns an empty list since this is an abstract class.
setup<-
  `signature(object = "clusterAnnotation")`: This function does nothing since this is an abstract class.
execute
  `signature(object = "clusterAnnotation")`: This function does nothing since this is an abstract class.
execute<-
  `signature(object = "clusterAnnotation")`: This function does nothing since this is an abstract class.
reset
  `signature(object = "clusterAnnotation")`: This function resets the `clusterset`-slot to an empty list.
print
  `signature(object = "clusterAnnotation")`: This function does nothing since this is an abstract class.
