mergeAnchors(dlo, mergegap, selfloops = FALSE)

## S4 method for signature 'loops,numeric,missing'
mergeAnchors(dlo, mergegap,
  selfloops = FALSE)

## S4 method for signature 'loops,numeric,logical'
mergeAnchors(dlo, mergegap,
  selfloops = FALSE)

Arguments

dlo

A loops object whose anchors will be merged

mergegap

An integer value of the bp between anchors to be merged

selfloops

A logical value to either retain (T) or remove (F) resulting self-loops after merging anchors

Details

This function takes a loops object and combines nearby anchors, up to a distance specified by the mergegap. This likely will cause self loops to form (loop where the left and right anchor are the same), which can either be removed (by default) or retained with selfloops

Value

A loops object

m1kb <- mergeAnchors(loops.small, 1000, FALSE)

# Merge anchors within 1kb of each other, removing self loops by default
m1kb_unique <- mergeAnchors(loops.small, 1000)
