cbind {HTqPCR} | R Documentation

## Combine qPCRset objects

### Description

Functions for combining multiple `qPCRset` objects into one, by either adding columns (samples) or rows (features).

### Usage

    ## S3 method for class 'qPCRset'
    cbind(..., deparse.level = 1)
    ## S3 method for class 'qPCRset'
    rbind(..., deparse.level = 1)

### Arguments

`...` | `qPCRset` objects that are to be combined.
`deparse.level` | not implemented currently. See `cbind`.

### Details

In some cases it might be desirable to merge multiple `qPCRset` objects, that have been read into R or processed individually. This can be done for either identical samples across multiple different cards (such as a 384 well plate), or if more samples have been run on cards with the same layout.

`cbind` combines data assuming that all experiments have been carried out on identical cards, i.e. that `featureNames`, `featureType`, `featurePos` and `featureClass` is identical across all the `qPCRset` objects. `rbind` combines data assuming that the same samples have been analysed using different qPCR cards.

For both functions, the `getCtHistory` of all the individual objects will be added to the combined `qPCRset`.

### Value

A combined qPCRset object.
