For those cases, making repeated calls is cumbersome. It would be better to have a single call that will return all thetrait covariates at once. For gene expression we will want the gene name, and genomic position at the least. We will also want free text metadata that explan what the probesets are, eg. what database/version is used for the gene names or probesets, preprocessing steps, authors/reference and experimental protocols. + + ## List datasets ``` |
