remove_centromeres: Remove centromeric regions from wiggle data

In hochwagenlab/hwglabr: Collection of R functions used in the Hochwagen Lab

Remove centromeric regions from wiggle data

Description

This function allows you to remove the region containing the centromere in each chromosome. The original motivation was to analyse Red1 ChIP-seq data in rec8 mutants (show a strong enrichment around the centromeres).

Usage

remove_centromeres(wiggleData, regionSize = 50000)

Arguments

wiggleData	As a list of the 16 chr wiggle data (output of readall_tab). No default.
regionSize	Number indicating the size (in bp) of the region to remove (centered on the centromere of each chromosome). Defaults to 50'000 bp.

Value

A similar list of the 16 chr wiggle data after removal of the rows for the centromeric regions (both positions and signal) in each chromosome data frame.

Examples

## Not run: 
remove_centromeres(rec8)

remove_centromeres(rec8, regionSize = 30000)

## End(Not run)
