Description Usage Arguments Value See Also Examples

Once the user has a list of cytobands of interest, one downstream application could be to find the list of genes present in the cytoband regions. This extract.genes.in.cyto.regions function can be used for this purpose. The following steps should be run before this function can be called: #Step 1 : Run cytoband CIN - using run.cin.chr() #Step 2: Plot cytoband level heatmap - using comp.heatmap() #Step 3: Go through heatmaps as select one appropriate threshold. Load the file. #Step 4: Perform T test to find differentially expressed cytobands - using ttest.cyto.cin.heatmap() #Step 5: Call this funtion to extract genes located in cytoband regions #More details and tutorial are given in the accompanying vignette

extract.genes.in.cyto.regions(cyto.cin4heatmapObj = NULL,
  genome.ucsc = NULL, gene.annotations = NULL,
  folder.name = "output_genename")

`cyto.cin4heatmapObj`	Output of the cytoband T test results
`genome.ucsc`	Reference sequence
`gene.annotations`	Information about CDS start and end positions, Gene names
`folder.name`	Name of output folder

Output files: The genes names present in the cytoband regions

See accompanying vignette for an end-to-end tutorial

#For this example, we load example T test output object
data("cyto.cin4heatmap")
data("hg18.ucsctrack") #load Hg 18 reference annotation file
data("geneAnno") #load Gene annotations file
extract.genes.in.cyto.regions(cyto.cin4heatmapObj =cyto.cin4heatmap,
genome.ucsc = hg18.ucsctrack, gene.annotations = geneAnno)
