 \title{Combining QTLExperiment objects}

 \value{
 A \linkS4class{QTLExperiment} object.
 }

 \description{

 An overview of methods to combine multiple

 \linkS4class{QTLExperiment} objects by row or column.

 These methods ensure that all data fields remain synchronized when states
 or associations are added or removed.

 }
 \section{Combining}{
 

 In the following examples, \code{...} contains one or more

 \linkS4class{QTLExperiment} object.

 \describe{

 \item{\code{rbind(..., deparse.level=1)}:}{Returns a

 \linkS4class{QTLExperiment} object where all objects are combined
 row-wise. Metadata is combined as in

 \code{?"\link[SummarizedExperiment]{rbind,SummarizedExperiment-method}"}. The \code{deparse.level}

 specifies how row.names are generated as described in
 \code{?\link[base]{rbind}}.

 \item{\code{cbind(..., deparse.level=1)}:}{Returns a

 \linkS4class{QTLExperiment} object where all objects are combined
 column-wise. Metadata is combined

 as in \code{?"\link[SummarizedExperiment]{cbind,SummarizedExperiment-method}"}. The
