how can i combine two multiassayexperiment object without using Experiment extraction and subsequently combination in MAE?
Example:
> MAE1 A MultiAssayExperiment object of 2 listed experiments with user-defined names and respective classes. Containing an ExperimentList class object of length 2: [1] mae1_exp_1: SummarizedExperiment with 20 rows and 10 columns [2] mae1_exp_2: SummarizedExperiment with 20 rows and 10 columns
> MAE2 A MultiAssayExperiment object of 2 listed experiments with user-defined names and respective classes. Containing an ExperimentList class object of length 2: [1] mae2_exp_1: SummarizedExperiment with 20 rows and 10 columns [2] mae2_exp_2: SummarizedExperiment with 20 rows and 10 columns > PSEUDOCODE: MAE3 <-c(MAE1, MAE2)
> MAE3 A MultiAssayExperiment object of 4 listed experiments with user-defined names and respective classes. Containing an ExperimentList class object of length 4: [1] mae1_exp_1: SummarizedExperiment with 20 rows and 10 columns [2] mae1_exp_2: SummarizedExperiment with 20 rows and 10 columns
[3] mae2_exp_1: SummarizedExperiment with 20 rows and 10 columns [4] mae2_exp_2: SummarizedExperiment with 20 rows and 10 columns
I get the idea but one requirement would be to keep experiment names unique across `MultiAssayExperiment` objects. I am coming up with a patch to allow this. Thanks, MR
