filterLowCountGenes: Filter genes from a TCC-class object

Description Usage Arguments Value Examples

View source: R/TCC.public.R

Description

This function takes a TCC object and returns a new TCC object without genes having low count tags across samples. The threshold is configurable with low.count parameter.

Usage

1
filterLowCountGenes(tcc, low.count = 0)

Arguments

tcc

TCC-class object.

low.count

numeric value (>= 0) specifying the threshold for filtering genes. The higher value indicates the more numbers of genes to be filtered out.

Value

TCC-class object consisting of genes whose total counts across samples is higher than the low.count value.
