VcfBasicRules-class: VCF filters class objects sub-types

In kevinrue/TVTB: TVTB: The VCF Tool Box

VCF filters class objects sub-types

Description

The VcfFixedRules and VcfInfoRules classes store filters applicable to the fixed and info slots of VCF objects, respectively.

The VcfVepRules stores filters applicable to Ensembl VEP predictions stores in a given INFO key.

Details

All arguments are first passed to S4Vectors::FilterRules before re-typing the resulting as a VcfFixedRules, VcfInfoRules, or VcfVepRules class.

Accessor methods

In the following code snippets x is an object from any of the classes decribed in this help page, except when specified otherwise.

active(x), active(x)<-

Gets or sets the active state of each filter rule in x. Inherited from FilterRules

vep(x), vep(x)<-

Gets or sets the INFO key where the Ensembl VEP predictions to use for filtering are stored. Returns NA_character_ for filters not applicable to VEP predictions.

type(x)

Returns "filter" (linkS4class{FilterRules}), "fixed" (linkS4class{VcfFixedRules}), "info" (linkS4class{VcfInfoRules}), or "vep" (linkS4class{VcfVepRules}) as a character vector of length(x).

Constructors

VcfFixedRules(exprs = list(), ..., active = TRUE)

VcfInfoRules(exprs = list(), ..., active = TRUE)

VcfVepRules(exprs = list(), ..., active = TRUE, vep = "CSQ")

All methods construct an object of the corresponding class with the rules given in the list exprs or in .... The initial active state of the rules is given by active, which is recycled as necessary.

See the constructor of FilterRules for more details.

Subsetting and Replacement

In the following code snippets x and value are objects from any of the classes described in this help page.

• x[i]: Subsets the filter rules using the same interface as for List.

• x[[i]]: Extracts an expression or function via the same interface as for List.

• x[i] <- value: Replaces a filter rule by one of the same class. The active state(s) and name(s) are transferred from value to x.

• x[[i]] <- value: The same interface as for List. The default active state for new rules is TRUE.

Combining

In the following code snippets x, values, and ... are objects from any of the classes described in this help page, or VcfFilterRules.

• append(x, values, after = length(x)): Appends the values onto x at the index given by after.

• c(x, ...,): Concatenates the filters objects in ... onto the end of x.

Note that combining rules of different types (e.g. VcfFixedRules and VcfVepRules) produces a VcfFilterRules object.

Evaluating

As described in the S4Vectors documentation:

• eval(expr, envir, enclos): Evaluates a rule instance (passed as the expr argument) in their respective context of a VCF object (passed as the envir argument). i.e.:

  • VcfFixedRules: fixed(envir)

  • VcfInfoRules: info(envir)

  • VcfVepRules: mcols(parseCSQToGRanges(envir, ...))

  • FilterRules: envir

• evalSeparately(expr, envir, enclos):

  subsetByFilter(x, filter)

  summary(object)

  See eval,FilterRules,ANY-method for details.

## See S4Vectors::FilterRules for more examples


# Example data ----

# Applying filters to VCF objects ----

## Evaluate filters

## Subset VCF by filters

# Subsetting and Replacement ----
