getGene {cummeRbund} | R Documentation

## getGene

### Description

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

### Usage

    ## S4 method for signature 'CuffSet'
    getGene(object, geneId, sampleIdList=NULL)

### Arguments

`object` | An object of class 'CuffSet' (Primary 'pointer' object for Cufflinks data).
`geneId` | A character string to identify which gene 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 CuffGene object containing all related information for a given gene_id or gene_short_name

### Note

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