getSpecificQTL: getSpecificQTL

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

getSpecificQTL

Description

This function returns the methQTL interactions specific for a result

Usage

getSpecificQTL(meth.qtl.res, meth.qtl.background, type = "SNP")

Arguments

meth.qtl.res	An object of type MethQTLResult-class for which specific QTLs are to be obtained.
meth.qtl.background	The background set as a list of MethQTLResult-class objects.
type	The type of annotation to be overlapped. Needs to be 'SNP', 'CpG' or 'cor.block'

Value

A data.frame of methQTL interactions sorted by the effect size.
