readTarget: READ THE TARGET FILE

In ISoLDE: Integrative Statistics of alleLe Dependent Expression

Description

Checks and loads into a data.frame your target input file.

Usage

readTarget(target_file, asr_counts, del = "\t")

Arguments

target_file	A character-delimited text input file, containing metadata about ASR counts files (see target_file.txt).
asr_counts	The data.frame containing values of ASR counts (obtained either by the readRawInput or the readNormInput function). It is used to perform checks on compatibility with the target file.
del	Specifies the delimiter for the target input file, usually a semi-colon ";", a coma "," or a tabulation "\t". (default : "\t"). Note : None of your data values must contain this delimiter (be specially careful in gene names).

Details

See target_file.txt for more details about the target_file format.

Value

a data.frame containing the target.

  targetfile <- system.file("extdata", "target_file.txt", 
  package = "ISoLDE")
  # The data.frame containing ASR counts is also required
  data(rawASRcounts)
  # Load into a data.frame and check the target file
  target <- readTarget(target_file = targetfile, 
  asr_counts = rawASRcounts, del = "\t")
