Analyze counts for sequential windows in a single region

Source: R/scanGenome.R
getDifferentiallyModifiedWindows.Rd

Given a SummarizedExperiment with modified and total base counts in assays "Nmod" and "Nvalid", perform a pairwise statistical test for differential modification.

Usage

getDifferentiallyModifiedWindows(
  se,
  assayNameMod = "Nmod",
  assayNameValid = "Nvalid",
  groupCol = "group",
  verbose = FALSE
)

Arguments

se

SummarizedExperiment, for example returned by quantifyWindowsInRegion. It is expected to at least contain assays for modified and total counts (given by assayNameMod and assayNameValid) and a colData column that defines the groups (given by groupCol).

assayNameMod, assayNameValid

Character scalars that give the assay names in se containing the modified and total counts, respectively.

groupCol

Character scalar giving the column in colData(se) that defines the groups of samples to be compared.

verbose

Logical scalar. If TRUE, report on progress.

Value

The GRanges object constructed from the topTags output obtained for the statistical analysis, with an additional column named "dirNegLog10PValue", calculated as the sign of the logFC multiplied with the -log10(PValue).
