writeSegments: write out segment data to individual files

In raim/segmenTools: Tools for Functional Genome Exploration

write out segment data to individual files

Description

writing out data for segments to files, used for writing the primary segments by presegment to single files that are then further processed by segmenTier. This avoids loading the complete data set and allows parallel usage of segmenTier.

Usage

writeSegments(data, segments, path, name = "segment")

Arguments

data	a data matrix to which coordinates in segments refer to
segments	a matrix that must contain "start" and "end" (columns) of segments; these coordinates will be extracted from data and written to individual files, numbered by the row number in segments.
path	optional output path where files will be written, if not supplied files will end up in the current working directory ('getwd')
name	name used as prefix in file names
