Description

Takes an expression matrix and combines spots into genes (column-wise).

Usage

spots2genes(data, spots, middle=mean.middle, ...)

Arguments

data a vector or matrix/data.frame (with spots in rows, samples in columns)
spots the gene names corresponding to the spots in the rows of the data
middle some measure of central tendency (e.g. mean) used to combine the
... arguments passed to middle.

Details

Takes an expression matrix and combines spots into genes (column-wise). In effect, the matrix of expression values will have rows that correspond to a single gene.
