In venyao/intansv: Integrative analysis of structural variations

Read in the structural variations predicted by breakDancer

Description

Reading in the structural variations predicted by breakDancer, filtering low quality predictions and merging overlapping predictions.

Usage

    readBreakDancer(file="", scoreCutoff=60, readsSupport=3, 
                    regSizeLowerCutoff=100, regSizeUpperCutoff=10000000,
                    method="BreakDancer", ...)

Arguments

file	the output file of breakDancer.
scoreCutoff	the minimum score for a structural variation to be read in.
readsSupport	the minimum read pair support for a structural variation to be read in.
regSizeLowerCutoff	the minimum size for a structural variation to be read in.
regSizeUpperCutoff	the maximum size for a structural variation to be read in.
method	a tag to assign to the result of this function.
...	parameters passed to read.table.

Details

The predicted SVs could be further filtered by score, number of read pairs supporting the occurence of a specific SV, and the predicted size of SVs to get more reliable SVs. See our paper for more details.

Value

A list with the following components:

del	the deletions predicted by breakDancer.
inv	the inversions predicted by breakDancer.
