calculateBamCoverageByInterval: Function to calculate coverage from BAM file

In PureCN: Copy number calling and SNV classification using targeted short read sequencing

Description

Takes a BAM file and an interval file as input and returns coverage for each interval. Coverage should be then GC-normalized using the correctCoverageBias function before determining purity and ploidy with runAbsoluteCN. Uses the scanBam function and applies low quality, duplicate reads as well as secondary alignment filters.

Usage

calculateBamCoverageByInterval(
  bam.file,
  interval.file,
  output.file = NULL,
  index.file = bam.file,
  keep.duplicates = FALSE,
  ...
)

Arguments

bam.file	Filename of a BAM file.
interval.file	File specifying the intervals. Interval is expected in first column in format CHR:START-END.
output.file	Optionally, write minimal coverage file. Can be read with the readCoverageFile function.
index.file	The bai index. This is expected without the .bai file suffix, see ?scanBam.
keep.duplicates	Keep or remove duplicated reads.
...	Additional parameters passed to ScanBamParam.

Value

Returns total and average coverage by intervals.

Examples

bam.file <- system.file("extdata", "ex1.bam", package = "PureCN",
    mustWork = TRUE)
interval.file <- system.file("extdata", "ex1_intervals.txt",
    package = "PureCN", mustWork = TRUE)

# Calculate raw coverage from BAM file. These need to be corrected for
# GC-bias using the correctCoverageBias function before determining purity
# and ploidy.
coverage <- calculateBamCoverageByInterval(bam.file = bam.file,
    interval.file = interval.file)
