countRangeset: Read counting for several range sets

In tgirke/systemPipeR: systemPipeR: Workflow Environment for Data Analysis and Report Generation

Read counting for several range sets

Description

Convenience function to perform read counting iteratively for serveral range sets, e.g. peak range sets or feature types. Internally, the read counting is performed with the summarizeOverlaps function from the GenomicAlignments package. The resulting count tables are directly saved to files.

Usage

countRangeset(bfl, args, outfiles=NULL, format="tabular", ...)

Arguments

bfl	BamFileList object containing paths to one or more BAM files.
args	An instance of SYSargs or SYSargs2 constructed from a targets file where the first column (targetsin(args) or targets.as.df(targets(args))) contains the paths to the tabular range data files (e.g. peak ranges) used for counting. Another possibily is named character vector with the paths to the tabular range data files and the elements names should be the sampleID.
outfiles	Default is NULL. When args is an object of named character vector class, outfile argument is required. Named character vector with the paths to the resulting count tables and the elements names should be the sampleID.
format	Format of input range files. Currently, supported are tabular or bed. If tabular is selected then the input range files need to contain the proper column titles to coerce with as(..., "GRanges") to GRanges objects after importing them with read.delim. The latter is the case for the peak files (*peaks.xls) generated by the MACS2 software.
...	Arguments to be passed on to internally used summarizeOverlaps function.

Value

Named character vector containing the paths from outpaths(args) to the resulting count table files.
