combineOutput: Combine output of different variant calling tools

View source: R/appreci8R_classical.R

Description

appreci8R combines and filters the output of different variant calling tools according to the 'appreci8'-algorithm. In the 4th analysis step, all normalized and annotated calls of the different variant calling tools are combined. A GRangesObject with all combined calls is returned.

Usage

1
combineOutput(output_folder, caller_names, annotated_calls_g)

Arguments

output_folder

The folder to write the output files into. If an empty string is provided, no files are written out.

caller_names

Vector containing the name of the variant calling tools.

annotated_calls_g

A GRangesList object. Every list element contains the variant calls of one variant calling tool. Annotate()-output can directly be taken as input. Providing a list with only one list element, i.e. evaluating only one variant calling tool, is possible, but not assumed to be useful. The point of the appreci8-algorithm lies in the combined evaluation and filtration of the output of several variant calling tools.

Details

The function combineOutput performs a combination of the normalized and annotated variant calls from different variant calling tools. The results are sorted according to Chr, Pos, Ref, Alt and SampleID. If two callers - caller1 and caller2 - report the same variant for the same sample, it is only reported once in the output file with a “1” in the column “caller1” and another “1” in the column “caller2”.

Value

A GRanges object is returned containing all combined calls. Reported metadata columns are: SampleID, Ref, Alt, Location, c. (position of variant on cDNA level), p. (position of variant on protein level), AA_ref, AA_alt, Codon_ref, Codon_alt, Consequence, Gene, GeneID, TranscriptID. In addition, one column for every variant calling tool is reported, containing a “1” for every call detected by that tool and “NA” for every call not detected by that tool.

If an output folder is provided, the output is saved as Results_Raw.txt.
