_D_e_s_c_r_i_p_t_i_o_n:

     An abstract class that provides a framework for the clustering
     algorithms of 'goCluster'.

_D_e_t_a_i_l_s:

     This class represents a wrapper for the different gene selection
     or partitioning algorithms of 'goCluster'. It provides a slot to
     be used for storing gene groups as a list of lists (tree).

_S_l_o_t_s:

     '_c_l_u_s_t_e_r_s_e_t': Object of class '"list"', a "tree" of clusters. Each
          list element can contain another list but the terminal
          entries need to be numeric vectors containg indices of the
          genes comprising the group.

     Additional slots are described in the documentation for the
     'clusterModule-class'.

_E_x_t_e_n_d_s:

     Class '"clusterModule"', directly.

_M_e_t_h_o_d_s:

     _c_o_n_f_i_g 'signature(object = "clusterModule")': This function does
          nothing since this is an abstract class.

     _s_e_t_u_p 'signature(object = "clusterModule")': This function returns
          an empty list since this is an abstract class.

     _s_e_t_u_p<- 'signature(object = "clusterModule")': This function does
          nothing since this is an abstract class.

     _e_x_e_c_u_t_e 'signature(object = "clusterModule")': This function does
          nothing since this is an abstract class.

     _e_x_e_c_u_t_e<- 'signature(object = "clusterModule")': This function
          does nothing since this is an abstract class.

     _r_e_s_e_t 'signature(object = "clusterModule")': This function resets
          the 'clusterset'-slot to an empty list.
