In MPIIComputationalEpigenetics/MAGAR: MAGAR: R-package to compute methylation Quantitative Trait Loci (methQTL) from DNA methylation and genotyping data

getOverlappingQTL

Description

This function merges the QTLs given and returns the methQTL table in a merged format.

Usage

getOverlappingQTL(meth.qtl.list, type = "SNP")

Arguments

meth.qtl.list	A list of MethQTLResult-class objects to be merged
type	The type of annotation to be overlapped. Needs to be 'SNP', 'CpG' or 'cor.block'

Value

A data.frame with the methQTL interactions and an additional column specifying where the interaction displayed has been found. This value is generated from the names() argument of meth.qtl.list.
