findLinkers: Find the 3' linkers and add results to SampleInfo object.

Description

Given a sampleInfo object, the function finds 3' linkers for each sample per sector and adds the results back to the object. This is a specialized function which depends on many other functions shown in 'see also section' to perform specialized trimming of 3' primer/linker adaptor sequence found in the sampleInfo object. The sequence itself is never trimmed but rather coordinates of linker portion is recorded back to the object and used subsequently by extractSeqs function to perform the trimming. This function heavily relies on either pairwiseAlignSeqs or primerIDAlignSeqs depending upon whether linkers getting aligned have primerID in it or not.

findLinkers(sampleInfo, showStats = FALSE, doRC = FALSE,
  parallel = TRUE, samplenames = NULL, bypassChecks = FALSE,
  parallel2 = FALSE, ...)

Arguments

sampleInfo

sample information SimpleList object outputted from findPrimers or findLTRs, which holds decoded sequences for samples per sector/quadrant along with information of sample to primer associations.

showStats

toggle output of search statistics. Default is FALSE.

doRC

perform reverse complement search of the defined pattern/linker sequence. Default is FALSE.

parallel

use parallel backend to perform calculation with BiocParallel. Defaults to TRUE. If no parallel backend is registered, then a serial version is ran using SerialParam. Parllelization is done at sample level per sector.

samplenames

a vector of samplenames to process. Default is NULL, which processes all samples from sampleInfo object.

bypassChecks

skip checkpoints which detect if something was odd with the data? Default is FALSE.

parallel2

perform parallelization is sequence level. Default is FALSE. Useful in cases where each sector has only one sample with numerous sequences.

...

extra parameters to be passed to pairwiseAlignment.

Value

a SimpleList object similar to sampleInfo paramter supplied with new data added under each sector and sample. New data attributes include: linkered. If linkers have primerID then, primerIDs attribute is appended as well.
