\title{Class "epheno"}
\description{
Object obtained with the ExpressionPhenoTest function. Contains FC, HR
and pvals from testing expression values of each gene against phenotypic
variables.
}
\section{Objects from the Class}{
Objects can be created by calls of the form \code{new("epheno",
  assayData, phenoData, featureData, exprs, ...)}. 
}
\section{Slots}{
  \describe{
