I often find myself with multiple SE
objects (I'm using SE
as a shorthand for the SummarizedExperiment0
and RangedSummarizedExeriment
classes), each with potentially non-distinct samples and potentially non-overlapping features/ranges. Currently, it is difficult to combine these objects; rbind()
can only combine objects with the same samples but distinct features/ranges and cbind()
can only combine objects with the same features/ranges but distinct samples. I think it would be useful to have a "combine" method for SE
objects that handles the most general situation where each object has potentially non-distinct samples and potentially non-overlapping features/ranges.
