Installation

require(devtools)
devtools::install_github("CharlesJB/FantomEnhancers.hg19")

Loading the library

library("FantomEnhancers.hg19")

Main functions

get_fantom_enhancers

The get_fantom_enhancers functions returns a GRanges object with all the enhancers and no metadata columns:

get_fantom_enhancers()

get_fantom_enhancers_tpm

The get_fantom_enhancers_tpm returns a GRanges object with all the enhancers and selected metadata columns:

To get the expression of enhancers in A549:

get_fantom_enhancers_tpm(cell_lines = "A549")

To get the expression of enhancers in A549 and K562:

get_fantom_enhancers_tpm(cell_lines = c("A549", "K562"))

To merge all the columns for a cell line by calculating the mean value for each enhancers:

get_fantom_enhancers_tpm(cell_lines = c("A549", "K562"), merge.FUN = mean)

To merge all the columns for a cell line by calculating the sum for each enhancers:

get_fantom_enhancers_tpm(cell_lines = c("A549", "K562"), merge.FUN = sum)

It's also possible to create our own function, as long as it take a vector of numeric as input and outputs a single numeric value:

# We create a dummy function that returns first element of a vector
dummy_function <- function(x) {
  x[1]
}
get_fantom_enhancers_tpm(cell_lines = c("A549", "K562"), merge.FUN = dummy_function)
