makeFilenames: Generate filenames reflecting normalizations

Description

Filenames including paths are generated to enable writing a set of "AlleleSetIllumina" data-tables to text-files. These are used subsequently to read specified markers and arrays into the workspace

Usage

makeFilenames(tag, normOpts, path = ".")
modifyExistingFilenames(dataFiles, oldtag, newtag)

Arguments

tag

Character string included in the filenames which is unique to the current analysis

normOpts

List with pre-processing options used (see setNormOptions). Generated filnames will reflect the transformation and channel-normalisation performed on the data

path

Character string with the saving path

dataFiles

Character vector with previous output from makeFilenames

oldtag

Often several rounds of genotype-calling is performed based on the same, pre-processed data. This character string correspond to the unique tag used for the previous run(s).

newtag

A new character string tag to replace oldtag in files other than those pre-processed data-files which remain the same between runs.

Value

• Character vector with the fields
• intFile
  File name for intensity values
• thFile
  File name for theta values
• seFile
  File name for SE values
• phFile
  File name for phenotype data
• callFile
  File name for call values
• resFile
  File name for feature data such as call statistics
• genoFile
  File name for allele values

Warning

Warnings are issued if existing filenames are used, as this may lead to overwriting of these files in subsequent steps (no files are overwritten by the functions themselves)

Details

These files generate file names used for reading and writing between text files and workspace. When different runs of genotype calling is performed using the same, pre-processed data, modifyExistingFilenames updates only the elements which change with the new genotyping.

Examples

#Create names
normOpts <- setNormOptions()
tag <- '1'
dataFiles <- makeFilenames(tag,normOpts)
print(dataFiles)

#Make new names for subsequent, alternate genotype calling runs
dataFiles <- modifyExistingFilenames(dataFiles,tag,'2')
