infer_tracts: Identify crossover, non-crossover, and gene conversion tracts

In tylerhether/fbgenotyper: R package using the Forward-Backward algorithm to infer genotypes, recombination hotspots, and gene conversion tracts from low-coverage next-generation sequence data

Description

Infers different types of tracts (crossover, non-crossover, and gene conversion) along a chromosome

Usage

infer_tracts(dat, threshold_size = 2500)

Arguments

data	A data.frame with 7 columns: c("Tetrad", "Chr", "Snp", "one", "two", "three", "four") Tetrad specifying the tetrad ID Chr giving the chromosome name Snp a vector of snp locations (in bps) one the inferred states for spore 1 two the inferred states for spore 2 three the inferred states for spore 3 four the inferred states for spore 4
threshold_size	The size (in bps) of the threshold (see details)

Details

Uses the 3 step classification scheme described in Hether et al. (in review) to identify the location of these specific CO, NCO, and telomeric gene conversion tracts. Specifically, infer_tracts attempts to identify the following tracts:

• 2_2 a tract with 2:2 segregation

• COyesGC a region of gene conversion that was associated with a crossover event

• COnoGC a region between a crossover event that did not have a detectable gene conversion

• NCO a non-crossover; a gene conversion tract without crossing

• GC_tel a gene conversion tract located at the chromosome end

Value

A data.frame containing the following columns:

1. type The type of inferred tract

2. start_snp The starting snp position in base pairs

3. end_snp The ending snp position in base pairs

4. extent The size of the tract. For COnoGC, this extent is the s spanning region between flanking CO events.
