snapCGH (version 1.42.0)

readPositionalInfo: readPositionalInfo

Description

This function automatically inserts information about the chromosomal positional of a clone into the \$genes matrix of an RGList or MAList. This information is used in all the available segmentation methods as well as many of the plotting functions available in snapCGH.

Usage

readPositionalInfo(input, source, path = NULL)

Arguments

input
An object of class RGList or MAList
source
Defines which platform or technology this data was produced on. Currently supported options are: "aglient", "bluefuse", "nimblegen". This list will be expanded in time.
path
Optional parameter to specify where the original data is stored. Defaults to the current working directory. This option is only required for reading "bluefuse" data at the moment, as chromosome information isn't read by limma as default.
