rankingRcisTarget-class {RcisTarget} | R Documentation

## Class to store the motif databases for RcisTarget.

### Description

This class contains the rankings used by RcisTarget.

They are typically loaded from a .feather file with `importRankings()`.

If the associated .descr file is available, it will also load the description of the database.

Class slots:

- rankings: data.frame containing the rankings

- colType: 'gene'or 'region'

- rowType: 'motif' or the type of feature is stored (e.g. ChipSeq)

- org: human/mouse/fly

- genome: hg19, mm9, ...

- nColsInDB: Number of columns (e.g. genes/regions) available in the database (.feather file). Note that not all might be loaded in the current object.

- description: global description, summary, or any other information

- maxRank: Maximum ranking included in the database, higher values are converted to Inf.

Note that the main slot is `@rankings`, which is the one used by RcisTarget (it can accessed with `getRanking()`). The 'description' slots are mostly for user convenience.
