fpkm {ORFik} | R Documentation

## Create normalizations of overlapping read counts.

### Description

FPKM is short for "Fragments Per Kilobase of transcript per Million fragments". When calculating RiboSeq data FPKM over ORFs use ORFs as 'grl'. When calculating RNASeq data FPKM use full transcripts as 'grl'.

### Usage

    fpkm(grl, reads, pseudoCount = 0)

### Arguments

`grl` | a `GRangesList` object can be either transcripts, 5' utrs, cds', 3' utrs or ORFs as a special case (uORFs, potential new cds' etc).
`reads` | a GAlignment, GRanges or GRangesList object, usually of RiboSeq, RnaSeq, CageSeq, etc.
`pseudoCount` | an integer, by default is 0, set it to 1 if you want to avoid NA and inf values.

### Value

a numeric vector with the fpkm values

### Examples

    ORF <- GRanges(seqnames = "1",
                   ranges = IRanges(start = c(1, 10, 20),
                   end = c(5, 15, 25)),
                   strand = "+")
    grl <- GRangesList(tx1_1 = ORF)
    RFP <- GRanges("1", IRanges(25, 25),"+")
    fpkm(grl, RFP)
