readAffyCytoScan: Affymetrix CytoScanHD '"rCGH-cytoScan"' Constructor

In rCGH: Comprehensive Pipeline for Analyzing and Visualizing Array-Based CGH Data

Description

A constructor function which takes an Affymetrix cytoScanHD cychp.txt (or cnchp.txt) file as input, possibly in a compressed format (.bz2 or .gz).
These files are exported from Chromosome Analysis Suite (ChAS) or Affymetrix Power Tools (see References section).

Usage

readAffyCytoScan(filePath, sampleName=NA, labName=NA,
    useProbes=c("snp", "cn", "all"), genome = c("hg19", "hg18", "hg38"),
    ploidy = 2, verbose=TRUE)

Arguments

filePath	: string. A path to an Affymetrix cytoScanHD cychp.txt (or cnchp.txt) file.
sampleName	: string. A sample Id. Optional.
labName	: string. A lab Id. Optional.
useProbes	: character. What probes to consider. Possible choices are SNP probes only ("snp", default), CN probes only ("cn"), or all the probes ("all").
genome	: string. The genome build to use. Supported genomes are hg18, hg19 (default), and hg38.
ploidy	: numeric. A priori plody value, when known, to adjust the estimation of copy numbers. Default is 2.
verbose	: logical. When TRUE (default), progress is printed.

Details

When available in the file preambule, several array information will be stored in Object@info: scanning date, grid version,...
Any other useful item can be stored using setInfo.

Value

An object of class "rCGH"
