\section{Methods}{
  The \code{object} for the below methods is a class that extends the
  virtual class \code{gSet}.
  \describe{
    \item{}{\code{checkOrder(object)}: checks that the object is ordered
      by chromosome and physical position. Returns \code{logical}.}
    \item{}{\code{chromosome(object)}: accessor for chromosome in the
      \code{GenomeAnnotatedDataFrame} slot.}
    \item{}{\code{chromosome(object) <- value}: replacement method for chromosome in the
      \code{GenomeAnnotatedDataFrame} slot. \code{value} must be an
      \code{integer} vector.}
    \item{db}{\code{signature(object = "gSet")}: ... }
    \item{}{\code{genomeBuild(object)}: genome build used to construct
      the \code{GenomeAnnotatedDataFrame}.}
    \item{}{\code{isSnp(object)}: whether the marker is
      polymorphic. Returns a \code{logical} vector.}
    \item{}{\code{position(object)}: \code{integer} vector of the
      genomic position}
  }
