Description Note Author(s)

Description

This function implements the peel-off algorithm to extract the independent regions having the minimum q-value (lower than the given threshold) within each chromosome. The function returns for each aberration and for each chromosome the list of aberrant regions. This function uses as support the function search_peaks_in_region that extract the primary peaks.

Note

This function uses the R package qvalue available at the bioconductor repository.
To install the qvalue package, start R and enter:
if (!requireNamespace("BiocManager", quietly=TRUE))
install.packages("BiocManager")
BiocManager::install("qvalue")
