\usage{
loadSamples(fileName, trInfoFile=NULL)
writeSamples(data, fileName)
}
\arguments{
\item{fileName}{Name of the file with samples or to which the samples are written.}
\item{data}{DataFrame with samples written to the file.}
\item{trInfoFile}{Transcript information file which can be used to name the rows.}
}
\details{
The \code{loadSamples} function load samples from the specified file into a \code{DataFrame}.
If the transcript information file is provided, the transcript names are use as row names.

\item{DataFrame}{Containing the expression samples}
}
