set_aliases: Set the aliases of a ribo object
In ribosomeprofiling/ribor: An R Interface for Ribo Files

Description Usage Arguments Details Value Examples

The function set_aliases allows the user to add aliases to a valid ribo object.

1	set_aliases(ribo.object, rename)

`ribo.object`	A 'ribo' object
`rename`	A function that renames original transcript name into an alias

If there is a different naming convention from the default appris transcriptome, there may be no simple way to generate convenient aliases from the original reference names. As a result, the user can first generate the ribo object and get the reference names, use custom (and likely more intricate) functions to generate a list of aliases, and then pass in a character vector of these aliases. The character vector should match the order of and correspond to the list of reference names retrieved from get_reference_names

A modified 'ribo' object that contains alias information

#generate a ribo object with transcript nicknames/aliases
file.path <- system.file("extdata", "HEK293_ingolia.ribo", package = "ribor")
sample <- Ribo(file.path)
sample <- set_aliases(ribo.object = sample,
                      rename = rename_default)
