## getGenes

### Description

Primary accessor from a CuffSet object to retrive all related information for >1 (MANY) given genes, indexed by gene_id or gene_short_name.

### Usage

    ## S4 method for signature 'CuffSet'
    getGenes(object, geneIdList, sampleIdList=NULL)

### Arguments

`object` | An object of class 'CuffSet' (Primary 'pointer' object for Cufflinks data).
`geneIdList` | A vector of gene_ids or gene_short_namesto identify which genes for which you would like to retrieve all information.
`sampleIdList` | A vector of sample names used to subset or re-order samples in returned object

### Details

None.

### Value

Returns a CuffGeneSet object containing all related information for a given set of gene_id or gene_short_name values

### Note

Right now, this does not return an error if it cannot find a gene. (this is probably a bad thing...)

### Examples

    	a<-readCufflinks(system.file("extdata", package="cummeRbund")) #Read cufflinks data and create master CuffSet object
    	data(sampleData)
    	sampleIDs
    	myGene<-getGenes(a,sampleIDs) # Retrieve all information for a set of 20 'sample' genes.
