[R] How to create a data set from object/data frame?

[Jim Lemon]

Hi Spencer,
While Sarah has already given you very good advice, there is a rough
method of checking whether one data set can be substituted for
another:

str(anno)
str(Dilution)

If you're lucky and the objects are not too complicated, this will
give you a start on whether one can be substituted for the other. For
example, if one is a vector and the other is a complicated list of
lists, forget it. If the two STRuctures look pretty much the same,
you've got a chance.
