subsetByLoci: Subset an RGChannelset by CpG loci.

In kasperdanielhansen/minfi: Analyze Illumina Infinium DNA methylation arrays

Subset an RGChannelset by CpG loci.

Description

Subset an RGChannelSet by CpG loci.

Usage

subsetByLoci(rgSet, includeLoci = NULL, excludeLoci = NULL,
             keepControls = TRUE, keepSnps = TRUE)

Arguments

rgSet	An object of class RGChannelSet (or RGChannelSetExtended).
includeLoci	A character vector of CpG identifiers which should be kept.
excludeLoci	A character vector of CpG identifiers which should be excluded.
keepControls	Should control probes be kept?
keepSnps	Should SNP probes be kept?

Details

This task is non-trivial because an RGChannelSet is indexed by probe position on the array, not by loci name.

Value

An object of class RGChannelSet, which some probes removed.

Examples

if(require(minfiData)) {
  loci <- c("cg00050873", "cg00212031", "cg00213748", "cg00214611")
  subsetByLoci(RGsetEx.sub, includeLoci = loci)
  subsetByLoci(RGsetEx.sub, excludeLoci = loci)
}
