## Define a class to use BigQuery data through SummarizedExperiment interface

### Description

Define a class to use BigQuery data through SummarizedExperiment interface

### Slots

`rowQref`

  a BigQueryConnection wrapped in tbl_dbi that holds rowData for the SummarizedExperiment instance

`colQref`

  a BigQueryConnection wrapped in tbl_dbi that holds colData for the SummarizedExperiment instance

`rowkey`

  character(1) name of a field in the table referenced by `rowQref` to be used as key for features

`colkey`

  character(1) name of a field in the table referenced by `colQref` to use as key for samples

`assayvbl`

  character(1) name to be used to select table providing assay content

### Note

This is an experimental structure to probe the concept that one can use a SummarizedExperiment object to interact with BigQuery data, particularly TCGA data. The slots `rowQref` and `colQref` are expected to be BigQuery connections which supply information on features and samples respectively, in a way that is consistent with the assay representation. See `seByTumor` for illustration.
