[BioC] Merging two tilingfeaturesets into one set.

[Yoo, Seungyeul]

Hello,

I'm working on dna methylation microarray. I need to merge two sets into one set.

> 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 my merged dataset (dataset$v1+dataset$v1.1) has the same number of features (2197815) but added number of samples(59+17=76).

How can I merge them to create new dataset?

Thanks,

Best regards,
