\name{DGEList}
\alias{DGEList}
\title{
DGEList Constructor
}
\description{
Creates a \code{DGEList} object from a table of counts (rows=features, columns=samples), group indicator for each column, library size (optional) and a table of feature annotation (optional).
}
\usage{
DGEList(counts = matrix(0, 0, 0), lib.size = colSums(counts),
norm.factors = rep(1,ncol(counts)), samples = NULL,
group = NULL, genes = NULL, remove.zeros = FALSE)
}
\arguments{
\item{counts}{numeric matrix of read counts.}
\item{lib.size}{numeric vector giving the total count (sequence depth) for each library.}
\item{norm.factors}{numeric vector of normalization factors that modify the library sizes.}
\item{samples}{data frame containing information for each sample.}
\item{group}{vector or factor giving the experimental group/condition for each sample/library.}
\item{genes}{data frame containing annotation information for each gene.}
\item{remove.zeros}{logical, whether to remove rows that have 0 total count.}
}
\details{
To facilitate programming pipelines,
\code{NULL} values can be input for \code{lib.size}, \code{norm.factors}, \code{samples} or \code{group}, in which case the default value is used as if the argument had been missing.
