Dear Heidi, Based on the conversation on class "qPCRset" and the suggestion of having phenoData included, I think that's a great idea! I was even wondering whether pData(featureData(qPCRset)) would be a slot of interest as well to include to the qPCRset object. I learned that you have already featureType(dat) featurePos(dat) featureClass(dat) Each of these are currently vectors and could actually be columns of pData(featureData(qPCRset)). This is how it has been implemented for expressionSets, I think. Do you think this could be of interest to a broader community as well? Thanks in advance for your consideration.

With one more vote cast in for letting qPCRset inheret from ExpressionSet (and hence phenoData), this does indeed seem to be the way for me to go. I'll have a look at updaying this for the next Bioconductor release. Best \Heidi > Thanks in advance for your consideration. > > Best, > An >
