nanotubes: CAGE data from mouse nanotube experiment

In MalteThodberg/nanotubes: Mouse nanotube CAGE data

Description

Overview of the mouse nanotube CAGE experiment by Bornholdt et al. This experiment involved exposing mice to carbon nanotubes and performing Cap Analysis of Gene Expression (CAGE) on lung biopsies. The resulting CAGE Transcription Start Sites (CTSSs), the number of CAGE tag 5'-ends mapping to each genomic position, are supplied as BigWig-files (on mm9).

Examples

# BigWig import is only supported on non-windows platforms:
if (.Platform$OS.type != "windows") {
    library(GenomicRanges)
    library(rtracklayer)
    data(nanotubes)
    bw_path <- system.file("extdata",
                           nanotubes$BigWigMinus[1],
                           package="nanotubes",
                           mustWork = TRUE)
import(bw_path)
}
