Examples

# \donttest{
laml.maf <- system.file("extdata", "tcga_laml.maf.gz", package = "maftools", mustWork = TRUE)
if (!require("R.utils")) {
  message("Please install 'R.utils' package firstly")
} else {
  laml <- read_maf(maf = laml.maf)
  laml

  laml_mini <- laml@data[, list(
    Tumor_Sample_Barcode, Chromosome,
    Start_Position, End_Position,
    Reference_Allele, Tumor_Seq_Allele2
  )]
  laml2 <- read_maf_minimal(laml_mini)
  laml2
}
