getFeatureCounts: get the read counts for a supplied set of genomic features

Description

get the read counts for a supplied set of genomic features

Usage

getFeatureCounts(AI, FG, nameColumn = "Name", fractionIncluded = 1, returnType = "AlignedGenomeIntervals", mem.friendly = FALSE)

Arguments

AI
AlignedGenomeIntervals object
FG
Genome\_intervals objects of genomic features
nameColumn
character indicating which column of the object FG holds the identifiers of the genomic features; is used to assess the number of genomic copies per feature
fractionIncluded
double; which fraction of an interval needs to be included in a feature in order to count for the feature
returnType
one of AlignedGenomeIntervals or integer
mem.friendly
logical; passed on to fracOverlap function, determines if overlap should be computed chromosome-wise, optionally distributed over several CPUs (with package parallel)

Value

depends on argument returnType: one of AlignedGenomeIntervals or a named integer
