segmentSeq (version 2.6.0)

plotMeth: Plots a map of cytosine methylation (and optionally, methylation loci).

Description

This function takes an alignmentMeth object and plots the observed levels of methylation within some defined region on the genome. If a methData object is also supplied, loci of methylation will also be shown.

Usage

plotMeth(aM, loci, chr, limits, samples, showNumber = TRUE, rgb = c(1, 0, 0), angle = 45, cap, add = FALSE)

Arguments

aM
An alignmentMeth.
loci
chr
The name of the chromosome to be plotted. Should correspond to a chromosome name in the alignmentMeth object.
limits
The start and end point of the region to be plotted.
samples
The sample numbers of the samples to be plotted. If NULL, plots all samples.
showNumber
Should the row number of each segment be shown?
rgb
The rgb code (rgb) with which to colour the loci.
angle
The angle at which loci are shaded (see rect).
cap
Caps the maximum level of coverage shown on the plot; thus, if a base has been sequenced at a level greater than the cap, the data for that base will be shown as if it has a coverage of cap.
add
If TRUE, adds the plot of methylation level to the current plot. Defaults to FALSE.

Value

Plotting function.
