Restructuring_AbstractCBS_objects: Restructuring AbstractCBS objects

In PSCBS: Analysis of Parent-Specific DNA Copy Numbers

Description

This page describes available methods for restructuring an AbstractCBS object.

• *append() - Appends one AbstractCBS to another.

• *extractChromosomes() / *extractChromosome() - Extracts an AbstractCBS with the specified chromosomes.

• *extractSegments() / *extractSegment() - Extracts an AbstractCBS with the specified segments.

• *extractRegions() / *extractRegion() - Extracts an AbstractCBS with the specified regions each of a certain size, where a region is defined as a connected set of segments.

• *dropRegions() / *dropRegion() - Drops specified regions and returns an AbstractCBS without them.

• *dropChangePoint() / *mergeTwoSegments() - Drops a change point by merging two neighboring segments and recalculates the statistics for the merged segment before returning an AbstractCBS.

• *dropChangePoints() - Drops zero or more change points and recalculates the segment statistics before returning an AbstractCBS.

• *mergeThreeSegments() - Merges a segment with its two flanking segments and recalculates the statistics for the merged segment before returning an AbstractCBS.

All of the above methods are implemented for CBS and PairedPSCBS objects.
