The readPrb,character-method
contains an argument as
that determines the value of the returned object, as follows.
as="SolexaEncoding"
The ASCII encoding of the maximum per cycle and read quality score
is encoded using Solexa conventions.
as="FastqEncoding"
The ASCII encoding of the maximum per cycle and read quality score
is encoded using Fastq conventions, i.e., !
has value 0.
as="IntegerEncoding"
The maximum per cycle and read quality score is returned as a in
integer value. Values are collated into a matrix with number of
rows equal to number of reads, and number of columns equal to
number of cycles.
as="array"
The quality scores are not summarized; the return value is
an integer array with dimensions corresponding to reads,
nucleotides, and cycles.
