Hello,

That error is because your datum is of a class that merge.default cannot handle, like the error message says. By the look of it, class "TillingFeatureSet" has a print method written to print it. This because it prints objects of that class with some descriptive information not part of the object itself. The underlying structure seems to be a list, which was subclassed to a "TillingFeatureSet" class object, with methods specially written for it.

Bottom line: if you merge the two components, the special behavior that comes with its class might be lost. Do you really need to merge them?

If so, use dput(rawData), its output, to post your object. But think about it first.

Hope this helps,

Hello,

I'm wondering how I can merge two featuresets into one.

My dataset is two sets of microarray data and it looks like followings:

rawData
$v1
TilingFeatureSet (storageMode: lockedEnvironment)
assayData: 2197815 features, 59 samples
   element names: channel1, channel2
protocolData
   rowNames: LT290677RU_D1_2011-02-16 LT286300LU_D1_2010-07-24 ...
     LT003990RU_D1_2010-11-04 (59 total)
   varLabels: filenamesChannel1 filenamesChannel2 dates1 dates2
   varMetadata: labelDescription channel
phenoData
   rowNames: LT290677RU_D1_2011-02-16 LT286300LU_D1_2010-07-24 ...
     LT003990RU_D1_2010-11-04 (59 total)
   varLabels: sampleID tissue ... Annotation (5 total)
   varMetadata: labelDescription channel
featureData: none
experimentData: use 'experimentData(object)'
Annotation: pd.feinberg.hg18.me.hx1

$v1.1
TilingFeatureSet (storageMode: lockedEnvironment)
assayData: 2197815 features, 17 samples
   element names: channel1, channel2
protocolData
   rowNames: LT282562RM_D1_2010-11-22 LT280646RU_D1_2010-11-22 ...
     LT093297LU_D1_2010-11-12 (17 total)
   varLabels: filenamesChannel1 filenamesChannel2 dates1 dates2
   varMetadata: labelDescription channel
phenoData
   rowNames: LT282562RM_D1_2010-11-22 LT280646RU_D1_2010-11-22 ...
     LT093297LU_D1_2010-11-12 (17 total)
   varLabels: sampleID tissue ... Annotation (5 total)
   varMetadata: labelDescription channel
featureData: none
experimentData: use 'experimentData(object)'
Annotation: pd.feinberg.hg18.me.hx1

I want to merge rawData$v1 and rawData$v1.1 since they are consistent each 
other.

I was trying to use "merge" function as merge(rawData$v1, rawData$v1.1) but it 
failed with error as

Error in as.data.frame.default(x) :
   cannot coerce class 'structure("TilingFeatureSet", package = 
"oligoClasses")' into a data.frame
Calls: merge ... merge.default -> merge -> as.data.frame -> 
as.data.frame.default

Can you please help with some advices?

Thanks,

Best regards,
