TitanCNA (version 1.10.0)

correctReadDepth: Correct GC content and mappability biases in sequencing data read counts

Description

Correct GC content and mappability biases in tumour sequence read counts using Loess curve fitting. Wrapper for function in HMMcopy.

Usage

correctReadDepth(tumWig, normWig, gcWig, mapWig, genomeStyle = "NCBI", targetedSequence = NULL)

Arguments

tumWig

File path to fixedStep WIG format file for the tumour sample. See wigToRangedData in the HMMcopy for more details.

normWig

File path to fixedStep WIG format file for the normal sample.

gcWig

File path to fixedStep WIG format file for the GC content based on the specific reference genome sequence used.

mapWig

File path to fixedStep WIG format file for the mappability scores computed on the specific reference genome used.

genomeStyle

The genome style to use for chromosomes by TitanCNA. Use one of ‘NCBI’ or ‘UCSC’. It does not matter what style is found in inCounts, genomeStyle will be the style returned.

targetedSequence

data.frame with 3 columns: chr, start position, stop position. Use this argument for exome capture sequencing or targeted deep sequencing data. This is experimental and may not work as desired.

Value

data.frame containing columns:

chr

Chromosome; uses 'X' and 'Y' for sex chromosomes

start

Start genomic coordinate for bin in which read count is corrected

end

End genomic coordinate for bin in which read count is corrected

logR

Log ratio, log2(tumour:normal), for bin in which read count is corrected

Details

Wrapper for correctReadcount in HMMcopy package. It uses a sampling of 50000 bins to find the Loess fit. Then, the log ratio for every bin is returned as the log base 2 of the ratio between the corrected tumour read count and the corrected normal read count.
