MEDIPSset-class: MEDIPSset class and internal functions

In MEDIPS: DNA IP-seq data analysis

Description

MEDIPSset class is used in the MEDIPS library in order to store and extract objects and information from the input file as well as parameter settings specified during the workflow.

Objects from the Class

Objects of the classes contain information about the provided short reads, MeDIP raw/count signals, and further parameter settings. A MEDIPS SET object is created by the MEDIPS.genomeVector() function. According slots will be filled during the workflow.

Slots

genome_name:

Object of class "character" : the refernce genome

window_size:

Object of class "numeric" : the window size for the genome vector

chr_names:

Object of class "character" : the names of the chromosomes included within the MEDIPS/COUPLING SET

chr_lengths:

Object of class "numeric" : the lengths of the chromosomes included within the MEDIPS/COUPLING SET

sample_name:

Object of class "character" : the name of the input file

path_name:

Object of class "character" : the path to the input file

number_regions:

Object of class "numeric" : the total number of included regions

genome_count:

Object of class "numeric" : the raw MeDIP-seq signals at the genomic bins

extend:

Object of class "numeric" : the length of the regions after extension

shifted:

Object of class "numeric" : the number of bases by which the reads are shifted along the sequencing direction

uniq:

Object of class "logical" : determines if all reads mapping to exactly the same genomic position should be kept (uniq = 0), replaced by only one representative (uniq = 1), or if the number of stacked reads should be capped by a maximal number of stacked reads per genomic position determined by a poisson distribution of stacked reads genome wide and by a given p-value (1 > uniq > 0).
