Processing peeling results
resultsProcess(peel.results, posDT)processed peeling results with a list of genes corresponding to each peeled region
peeling results
a data frame containing gene annotation information; a list
component created by dataPrep.
The peelingOneIterate function identifies (i) multiple loci across the genome
where copy number gains are losses, and (ii) regions around those loci that also exhibit copy number
changes. Similarly, peelingTwoIterate identifies loci and surrounding regions that
harbor copy number differences. The output of either peelingOneIterate or
peelingTwoIterate is processed to produce a tab-delimited text file that provides
a summary of the peeling results. Each column corresponds to a peeled locus, and the column contains
the genomic location of the locus, the start and end positions of the surrounding peeled region,
the mean copy number value (one matrix X) or difference of mean copy number values (two matrices X and Y),
the cyclic shift-based p-value, and the names of the genes in the peeled region (in alphabetical order).
