                          outputFolder, 
                          referenceFile,
                          incrArtefactThrEvery=NA, 
                          verbosity=0) 
      

Arguments

alignedFile

An atomic character string. The full path to the file containing the reads aligned by bowtie with the –concise option.

outputFolder

An atomic character string. The path to the folder where the file output by the script must be stored.

referenceFile

An atomic character string. Either a full path to a reference file (see details for format specification), or the ID of one reference included in the package (see details for available ones).

incrArtefactThrEvery

A complex parameter (see details). A numeric value or NA. A strictly positive numeric value activate the option that allow to remove the 'artifacts', defining a threshold to consider piles like 'artefacts' as 'number of reads in the experiment devided by incrArtefactThrEvery'. A NA will ignore the eventual artifactual piles.

verbosity

An integer. The verbose level : 0 = no message, 1 = trace level

Details

The script consider the reads that have been aligned in several location by bowtie (multi-reads). At each read, it assign a score corresponding to (1/number of found read position). The script output a tab separated value text file formated as below:

The output file is named according to the name of the input file suffixed with "_uniformDispatch.txt".

If the parameter 'incrArtefactThrEvery' is set to a strictly positive value, the input file is first passed to a script removing the 'artifacts'. This script looks at the reads aligned at the exact same position. If the number of such reads exceed a limit, these reads are considered as due to experiment artifact. In that case, only one read is kept and the rest is removed. The limit defining artefact is controled by the parameter 'incrArtefactThrEvery' such as:

limit = Total number of reads / incrArtefactThrEvery
