test_colData_structure {M3D} | R Documentation |
M3D requires that the files be specified group by group (all of condition 1, then all of condition 2 etc.). This function tests this, and is used before loading so that the error is caught before time is wasted.
test_colData_structure(colData)
colData |
Samples' names plus additional sample information as character, data.frame or DataFrame. |
Returns TRUE if the colData is structured correctly for downstream analysis, FALSE otherwise
