read.resultsGFF: Read Nimblegen GFF files

Description

A GFF format file is a quite flexible format for storing genomic data. Nimblegen uses these format files as one format for making chip-chip data available. This function reads these files, one per experiment and creates a resulting aGFF-class object.

Usage

read.resultsGFF(fnames, path = ".", samples = NULL, notes = NULL, skip = 0, sep = "\t", quote = "\"", ...)

Arguments

fnames
A vector of filenames
path
The path to the filenames
samples
A data.frame containing sample information, one row per sample, in the same order as the files in fnames
notes
A character vector for notes--not currently stored
skip
Number of lines to skip if the file contains a header
