RnBeads (version 1.4.0)

RnBiseqSet-class: RnBiseqSet Class

Description

A class for storing the DNA methylation and quality information from bisulfite sequencing experiments

Wrapper function RnBiseqSet

Usage

RnBiseqSet(pheno, sites, meth, covg = NULL, assembly = "hg19", target = "CpG", summarize.regions = TRUE, region.types = rnb.region.types.for.analysis(assembly), useff = rnb.getOption("disk.dump.big.matrices"), usebigff = rnb.getOption("disk.dump.bigff"), verbose = FALSE)

Arguments

pheno
phenotypic data.
sites
CpG site definition, as a data.frame with 3 variables: chromosome (of type character), position (integer) and strand (character, one of "+", "-" or "*"
meth
summarized methylation calls as a matrix or ff_matrix
covg
read coverage information as a matrix or ff_matrix
assembly
the genome assembly
target
target DNA methylation features (CpG sites)
summarize.regions
...
region.types
region annotations for which the methylation data should be summarized
useff
flag specifying whether the ff functionality should be used
usebigff
flag specifying whether the extended ff functionality should be used (large matrix support for ff)
verbose
flag specifying whether the diagnostic messages should be written to the console or to the RnBeads logger, if the latter is initialized

Value

an object of class RnBiseqSet

Slots

status
Normalization status.

Methods and Functions

combine
