Append samples from multiple SummarizedExperiment objects

Source: R/dplyr_methods.R

Append samples from multiple SummarizedExperiment objects by column-binding them. This function is equivalent to cbind but provides a tidyverse-like interface.

# S3 method for class 'SummarizedExperiment'

Arguments

x

First SummarizedExperiment object to combine

...

Additional SummarizedExperiment objects to combine by samples

.id

Object identifier (currently not used)

Value

A combined SummarizedExperiment object
