coveragePerTiling: Get coverage per group

Description Usage Arguments Details Value See Also Examples

Description

It tiles each GRangesList group to width 1, and finds hits per position. A range from 1:5 will split into c(1,2,3,4,5) and count hits on each.

coveragePerTiling(
  grl,
  reads,
  is.sorted = FALSE,
  keep.names = TRUE,
  as.data.table = FALSE,
  withFrames = FALSE,
  weight = "score"
)

Arguments

grl

a GRangesList of 5' utrs, CDS, transcripts, etc.

reads

a GAlignments or GRanges object of RiboSeq, RnaSeq etc. Weigths for scoring is default the 'score' column in 'reads'

is.sorted

logical (FALSE), is grl sorted. That is + strand groups in increasing ranges (1,2,3), and - strand groups in decreasing ranges (3,2,1)

keep.names

logical (TRUE), keep names or not.

as.data.table

a logical (FALSE), return as data.table with 2 columns, position and count.

withFrames

a logical (FALSE), only available if as.data.table is TRUE, return the ORF frame, 1,2,3, where position 1 is 1, 2 is 2 and 4 is 1 etc.

weight

(default: 'score'), if defined a character name of valid meta column in subject. GRanges("chr1", 1, "+", score = 5), would mean score column tells that this alignment region was found 5 times. ORFik .bedo files, contains a score column like this. As do CAGEr CAGE files and many other package formats. You can also assign a score column manually.

Details

This is a safer speedup of coverageByTranscript from GenomicFeatures. It also gives the possibility to return as data.table, for faster computations. NOTE: If reads contains a $score column, it will presume that this is the number of replicates per reads, weights for the coverage() function. So delete the score column or set weight to something else if this is not wanted.

Value

a numeric RleList, one numeric-Rle per group with # of hits per position. Or data.table if as.data.table is TRUE, with column names c("count" [numeric or integer], "genes" [integer], "position" [integer])
