filePaths

A vector of paths to one or more BED files

...

Other parameters passed to RCAS::importBed and rtracklayer::import.bed function

Value

A GRangesList object containing the coordinates of the intervals from multiple input BED files

Examples

input1 <- system.file("extdata", "testfile.bed", package='RCAS') 
input2 <- system.file("extdata", "testfile2.bed", package='RCAS') 
bedData <- importBedFiles(filePaths = c(input1, input2), 
keepStandardChr = TRUE) 
# when importing multiple bed files with different column names, it 
# is required to pass the common column names to be parsed from the 
# bed files
bedData <- importBedFiles(filePaths = c(input1, input2),
                 colnames = c('chrom', 'start', 'end', 'strand'))
