SummarizedExperiment

A container (S4 class) for matrix-like assays

Bioconductor version: 3.23 · Package version: 1.42.0

The SummarizedExperiment container contains one or more assays, each represented by a matrix-like object of numeric or other mode. The rows typically represent genomic ranges of interest and the columns represent samples.
