chipSmooth_-: Setter method for 'chipSmooth' slot in 'parameterOptions'...

In ChIPanalyser: ChIPanalyser: Predicting Transcription Factor Binding Sites

Description

Setter method for chipSmooth slot in parameterOptions object.

Usage

chipSmooth(object) <- value

Arguments

object	object is a parameterOptions object.
value	value is the positive numeric value to be assigned to the chipSmooth slot in parameterOptions Default value is 250 base pairs.

Details

When computing ChIP-seq like (computeChIPProfile) profile from occupancy data (see computeOccupancy), the profiles are smoothed using a window of a given size. The default value is set at 250 base pairs.If chipSmooth is set to 0 then the profile will not be smoothed. We strongly encourage to set values when building a parameterOptions object.

Value

Returns a parameterOptions object with an updated value for chipSmooth slot.
