Details

An AromaGenomeTextFile is a tab-delimited text file with a header containing (at least) column names 'chromosome' and 'nbrOfBases'. The 'chromosome' column specifies the chromosomes (character strings) and the 'nbrOfBases' column specifies the lengths (integer) of the chromosomes in number of bases (nucleotides). The filename of an AromaGenomeTextFile should have format ",chromosomes(,)*.txt", and be located in annotationData/genomes//, e.g. annotationData/genomes/Human/Human,chromosomes,max,20090503.txt.

Examples

# Locate a Human,chromosomes(,.*)*.txt file
db <- AromaGenomeTextFile$byGenome("Human");
print(db);

# Read the data
df <- readDataFrame(db);
print(df);
str(df);

# Details on the file format
oopts <- options(width=40);
print(readLines(db));
options(oopts);
