FilterConstructors: Variant Filter Constructors

Description Usage Arguments Value Author(s) See Also Examples

Description

These functions construct filters (implemented as functions) suitable for collection into FilterRules objects, which are then used to filter variant calls. See examples.

SetdiffVariantsFilter(other)
MinTotalDepthFilter(min.depth = 10L)
MaxControlFreqFilter(control, control.cov, max.control.freq = 0.03)
DepthFETFilter(control, control.cov, p.value.cutoff = 0.05)

Arguments

other

The set of variants (as a VRanges) to subtract from the set being filtered.

min.depth

The minimum depth for a variant to pass.

control

The control set of variants (as a VRanges) to use when filtering for case-specific variants.

control.cov

The coverage (as an RleList) for the sample corresponding to the calls in control.

max.control.freq

The maximum alt frequency allowed in the control for a variant to be considered case-specific.

p.value.cutoff

Passing variants must have a p-value below this value.

Value

In all cases, a closure that returns a logical vector indicating which elements of its argument should be retained.

There are some convenience functions that construct FilterRules objects that contain one or more of these filters. Examples are VariantQAFilters and VariantCallingFilters.
