ModInosine: ModInosine

In RNAmodR: Detection of post-transcriptional modifications in high throughput sequencing data

Description

Inosine can be detected in RNA-Seq data by the conversion of A positions to G. This conversion is detected by ModInosine and used to search for Inosine positions. dataType is "PileupSequenceData".

Only samples labeled with the condition treated are used for this analysis, since the A to G conversion is common feature among the reverse transcriptases usually emploied. Let us know, if that is not the case, and the class needs to be modified.

Usage

ModInosine(x, annotation, sequences, seqinfo, ...)

ModSetInosine(x, annotation = NA, sequences = NA, seqinfo = NA, ...)

Arguments

x	the input which can be of the different types depending on whether a ModRiboMethSeq or a ModSetRiboMethSeq object is to be constructed. For more information have a look at the documentation of the Modifier and ModifierSet classes.
annotation	annotation data, which must match the information contained in the BAM files. This is parameter is only required, if x is not a Modifier object.
sequences	sequences matching the target sequences the reads were mapped onto. This must match the information contained in the BAM files. This is parameter is only required, if x is not a Modifier object.
seqinfo	An optional Seqinfo argument or character vector, which can be coerced to one, to subset the sequences to be analyzed on a per chromosome basis.
...	Optional arguments overwriting default values, which are minCoverage: The minimal coverage at the position as integer value (default: minCoverage = 10L). minReplicate: minimum number of replicates needed for the analysis (default: minReplicate = 1L). minScore: minimum score to identify Inosine positions de novo (default: minScore = 0.4).

Details

ModInosine score: the scores for reported Inosine positions are between 0 and 1. They are calculated as the relative amount of called G bases ((G / N)) and only saved for genomic A positions.

Value

a ModInosine or ModSetInosine object
