S4 generic functions for Bioconductor

Description

S4 generic functions needed by many Bioconductor packages.

Details

We divide the generic functions defined in the BiocGenerics package in 2 categories:

  1. Functions already defined in base R or in CRAN package generics, and explicitly promoted to S4 generics in BiocGenerics

  2. S4 generics specific to Bioconductor.

(1) Functions defined in base R or CRAN package generics and explicitly promoted to S4 generics in the BiocGenerics package

Generics for functions defined in package base:

Generics for functions defined in package utils:

Generics for functions defined in package graphics:

Generics for functions defined in package stats:

Generics for functions defined in CRAN package generics:

(2) S4 generics specific to Bioconductor

Note

More generics can be added on request by sending an email to the Bioc-devel mailing list:
