PairedReadFileSet-class: A class representing file paths to paired end reads.

In derele/MultiAmplicon: Metabarcoding and microbiome analysis using multiple amplicons

A class representing file paths to paired end reads.

Description

Two character vectors of the same length specifying file names of paired end reads can be stored in this class. Filenames a checked for their existence. Usually these are the filnames of quality filtered fastq files already stratified into samples (one file pair for each sample).

Usage

PairedReadFileSet(readsF = character(), readsR = character())

## S4 method for signature 'PairedReadFileSet'
length(x)

## S4 method for signature 'PairedReadFileSet'
show(object)

## S4 method for signature 'PairedReadFileSet,index,missing,ANY'
x[i, j, ..., drop = TRUE]

Arguments

readsF	The path and filenames containing forward (R1) reads
readsR	The path and filenames containing reverse (R2) reads
x	PairedReadFileSet-class object
object	A PairedReadFileSet-class object.
i	numeric to select
j	not used
...	not used
drop	not used

Value

PairedReadFileSet

Functions

• PairedReadFileSet: Constructor for PairedReadFileSet-class

Slots

readF

A character vector specifying the file paths to files containing forward (sometimes called R1) sequencing reads. This vector can be named to store short short-name of samples.

readR

A character vector specifiying the file path to a file containing reverse (sometimes called R2) sequencing reads. This vector can be named to store short short-name of samples. Names of readF and readR should be identical in this case

names

Is either (first choice) from names of the forward reads, or (if these are empty) constructed from basename of forward read files (filename without directory).
