Creates a track called new_track that is the sum of the methylation calls in tracks.
In addition, if merge_tidy_cpgs is TRUE, creates a union of tidy_cpgs of tracks and generates
pattern frequency and pattern coverage for the combined tidy_cpgs.
If patterns attributes are present, they will be combined and calculated for the new track.
gpatterns.merge_tracks(tracks, new_track, description,
intervals = gintervals.all(), iterator = NULL, add_var = FALSE,
merge_tidy_cpgs = TRUE, ...)
Arguments
- tracks
- tracks to merge
- new_track
- new track name
- description
- new track description
- intervals
- intervals scope. default is all the genome (gintrevals.all())
- iterator
- new track iterator. if left NULL, the iterator would be the union of all the covered CpGs of
tracks
- add_var
- calculate variance (of tracks '.avg'). Will be created in new_track.var
- merge_tidy_cpgs
- merge also tidy cpgs and create pattern frequency and pattern coverage track.
Does not work for tracks without the single molecule data (e.g. arrays, processed data)
- ...
- additional parameters for
gpatterns.import_from_tidy_cpgs
Value
name of the new_track
