A good starting point is the vignette, available as an Rmd file in the vignette/ subdirectory, or as a built html page. A definition of the API is available by typing API() after loading the MultiAssayExperiment library, which opens the API wiki.
See http://tinyurl.com/MAEOurls for some ready-packaged MultiAssayExperiment TCGA and CCLE objects to try out.
This repo is intended to start the Bioconductor special interest group on mergeable experiment collections like TCGA. Our objective is to use R/Bioconductor to define interfaces allowing efficient selection and combination of high-dimensional assays obtained on all or many members of a group of samples or patients.
If you are interested in joining this interest group, please join the MultiAssayExperiment Google Group, and see the calendar of upcoming meetings.
For convenience, the Roxygen2 package functions are used for documenting and generating R objects and manual pages for this package. More information can be found at R Packages
