Description Usage Arguments Value Methods (by generic) Slots Author(s) See Also Examples

This S4 class is a small wrapper for a configuration on obtaining counts from bamfiles with bamProfile. Herein, two functions provide help for creating an instance of this class: countConfigSingleEnd creates a configuration for single end reads; and countConfigPairedEnd creates a configuration for paired end reads.

## S4 method for signature 'ANY'
countConfigSingleEnd(binsize = 250L, mapq = 20L,
  filteredFlag = 1024L, shift = 0L)

## S4 method for signature 'ANY'
countConfigPairedEnd(binsize = 250L, mapq = 20L,
  filteredFlag = 1024L, shift = 0L, midpoint = TRUE, tlenFilter = c(70L,
  200L))

## S4 method for signature 'NormRCountConfig'
getFilter(x)

## S4 method for signature 'NormRCountConfig'
print(x, ...)

`binsize`	An `integer()` specifying the binsize in bp.
`mapq`	An `integer()` specifying the minimal mapping quality for a read to be counted.
`filteredFlag`	An `integer()` to filter for in the SAMFLAG field. For example, 1024 filters out marked duplicates (default). Refer to https://broadinstitute.github.io/picard/explain-flags.html for details.
`shift`	An `integer()` specifing a shift of the read counting position in 3'-direction. This can be handy in the analysis of chip-seq data.
`midpoint`	Paired End data only: A `logical()` indicating whether fragment midpoints instead of 5'-ends should be counted.
`tlenFilter`	An `integer()` of length two specifying the lower and upper length bound for a fragment to be considered. The fragment length as estimated from alignment in paired end experiments and written into the TLEN column.
`x`	A `NormRCountConfig` object.
`...`	optional arguments to be passed directly to the inherited function without alteration and with the original names preserved.
`object`	A `NormRCountConfig` object.

A NormRCountConfig with specified counting parameters for normr methods (enrichR, diffR, regimeR

countConfigSingleEnd: Setup single end count configuration
countConfigPairedEnd: Setup paired end count configuration
getFilter: Get the filter compliant to bamProfile
print: Prints a given BamCounConfig
show: Shows a given BamCounConfig

type: A character of value paired.end or single.end.
binsize: An integer specifying the binsize in bp.
mapq: An integer specifying the minimal mapping quality for a read to be counted.
filteredFlag: An integer to filter for in the SAMFLAG field. For example, 1024 filters out marked duplicates (default). Refer to https://broadinstitute.github.io/picard/explain-flags.html for details.
shift: An integer specifing a shift of the read counting position in 3'-direction. This can be handy in the analysis of chip-seq data.
midpoint: Paired End data only: A logical indicating whether fragment midpoints instead of 5'-ends should be counted.
tlenFilter: Paired End data only: An integer of length two specifying the lower and upper length bound for a fragment to be considered. The fragment length as estimated from alignment in paired end experiments and written into the TLEN column.

### Create an instance of this class (see below for helper functions)
# 250bp bins; single end reads; MAPQ>=10; no duplicates
countConfig <- new("NormRCountConfig", 
                   type = "single.end", binsize = 250L, mapq = 10L, 
                   filteredFlag = 1024L, shift = 0L, midpoint = FALSE, 
                   tlenFilter = NULL)

### Counting configuration for Single End alignment files
# 250bp bins (default); only reads with MAPQ>=20; move counting position 100bp
countConfigurationSE <- countConfigSingleEnd(mapq = 20, shift = 100)
countConfigurationSE

### Counting configuration for Paired End alignment files
# 250bp bins; count center of fragments; only fragments with 70bp<=length<=200
countConfigurationPE <- countConfigPairedEnd(midpoint = TRUE,
                                             tlenFilter = c(70, 200))
