AggregateTiles: Quantify aggregated genome tiles

Description

Quantifies fragment counts per cell in fixed-size genome bins across the whole genome, then removes bins with less than a desired minimum number of counts in the bin, then merges adjacent tiles into a single region.

Usage

AggregateTiles(object, ...)

# S3 method for Seurat AggregateTiles( object, genome, assay = NULL, new.assay.name = "tiles", min_counts = 5, binsize = 5000, verbose = TRUE, ... )

# S3 method for ChromatinAssay AggregateTiles( object, genome, min_counts = 5, binsize = 5000, verbose = TRUE, ... )

# S3 method for default AggregateTiles( object, genome, cells = NULL, min_counts = 5, binsize = 5000, verbose = TRUE, ... )

Value

When running on a Seurat object, returns the Seurat object with a new ChromatinAssay added.

When running on a ChromatinAssay, returns a new ChromatinAssay containing the aggregated genome tiles.

When running on a fragment file, returns a sparse region x cell matrix.

Arguments

object

A Seurat object or ChromatinAssay object

...

Additional arguments passed to other methods

genome

genome A vector of chromosome sizes for the genome. This is used to construct the genome bin coordinates. The can be obtained by calling seqlengths on a BSgenome-class object.

assay

Name of assay to use

new.assay.name

Name of new assay to create containing aggregated genome tiles

min_counts

Minimum number of counts for a tile to be retained prior to aggregation

binsize

Size of the genome bins (tiles) in base pairs

verbose
