In SummarizedExperiment: SummarizedExperiment container

Description

This man page documents the nearest methods and family (i.e. precede, follow, distance, and distanceToNearest methods) for RangedSummarizedExperiment objects.

Usage

## S4 method for signature 'RangedSummarizedExperiment,ANY'
precede(x, subject, select=c("arbitrary", "all"),
        ignore.strand=FALSE)
## S4 method for signature 'ANY,RangedSummarizedExperiment'
precede(x, subject, select=c("arbitrary", "all"),
        ignore.strand=FALSE)

## S4 method for signature 'RangedSummarizedExperiment,ANY'
follow(x, subject, select=c("arbitrary", "all"),
        ignore.strand=FALSE)
## S4 method for signature 'ANY,RangedSummarizedExperiment'
follow(x, subject, select=c("arbitrary", "all"),
        ignore.strand=FALSE)

## S4 method for signature 'RangedSummarizedExperiment,ANY'
nearest(x, subject, select=c("arbitrary", "all"), ignore.strand=FALSE)
## S4 method for signature 'ANY,RangedSummarizedExperiment'
nearest(x, subject, select=c("arbitrary", "all"), ignore.strand=FALSE)

## S4 method for signature 'RangedSummarizedExperiment,ANY'
distance(x, y, ignore.strand=FALSE, ...)
## S4 method for signature 'ANY,RangedSummarizedExperiment'
distance(x, y, ignore.strand=FALSE, ...)

## S4 method for signature 'RangedSummarizedExperiment,ANY'
distanceToNearest(x, subject, ignore.strand=FALSE, ...)
## S4 method for signature 'ANY,RangedSummarizedExperiment'
distanceToNearest(x, subject, ignore.strand=FALSE, ...)

Arguments

x, subject	One of these two arguments must be a RangedSummarizedExperiment object.
select, ignore.strand	See ?nearest in the GenomicRanges package.
y	For the distance methods, one of x or y must be a RangedSummarizedExperiment object.
...	Additional arguments for methods.

Details

These methods operate on the rowRanges component of the RangedSummarizedExperiment object, which can be a GenomicRanges or GRangesList object.

More precisely, if any of the above functions is passed a RangedSummarizedExperiment object thru the x, subject, and/or y argument, then it behaves as if rowRanges(x), rowRanges(subject), and/or rowRanges(y) had been passed instead.

See ?nearest in the GenomicRanges package for the details of how nearest and family operate on GenomicRanges and GRangesList objects.

Value

See ?nearest in the GenomicRanges package.

Examples

nrows <- 20; ncols <- 6
counts <- matrix(runif(nrows * ncols, 1, 1e4), nrows)
rowRanges <- GRanges(rep(c("chr1", "chr2"), c(5, 15)),
                     IRanges(sample(1000L, 20), width=100),
                     strand=Rle(c("+", "-"), c(12, 8)))
colData <- DataFrame(Treatment=rep(c("ChIP", "Input"), 3),
                     row.names=LETTERS[1:6])
rse0 <- SummarizedExperiment(assays=SimpleList(counts=counts),
                             rowRanges=rowRanges, colData=colData)
rse1 <- shift(rse0, 100)

res <- nearest(rse0, rse1)
res
stopifnot(identical(res, nearest(rowRanges(rse0), rowRanges(rse1))))
stopifnot(identical(res, nearest(rse0, rowRanges(rse1))))
stopifnot(identical(res, nearest(rowRanges(rse0), rse1)))

res <- nearest(rse0)  # missing subject
res
stopifnot(identical(res, nearest(rowRanges(rse0))))

hits <- nearest(rse0, rse1, select="all")
hits
stopifnot(identical(
  hits,
  nearest(rowRanges(rse0), rowRanges(rse1), select="all")
))
stopifnot(identical(
  hits,
  nearest(rse0, rowRanges(rse1), select="all")
))
stopifnot(identical(
  hits,
  nearest(rowRanges(rse0), rse1, select="all")
))
