mergeReplicates {Repitools} | R Documentation

## Merge GRanges that are of replicate experiments.

### Description

A lane of next generation sequencing data can be stored as a `GRanges` object. Sometimes, a `GRangesList` of various lanes can have experimental replicates. This function allows the merging of such elements.

### Usage

      ## S4 method for signature 'GRangesList'
    mergeReplicates(reads, types, verbose = TRUE)

### Arguments

`reads` | A `GRangesList`.
`types` | A vector the same length as `reads`, that gives what type of experiment each element is of.
`verbose` | Whether to print the progess of processing.

### Details

The experiment type that each element of the merged list is of, is stored in the first element of the metadata list.

### Value

A `GRangesList` with one element per experiment type.

### Examples

      library(GenomicRanges)
      grl <- GRangesList(GRanges("chr1", IRanges(5, 10)),
                         GRanges("chr18", IRanges(25, 50)),
                         GRanges("chr22", IRanges(1, 100)))
      antibody <- c("MeDIP", "MeDIP", "H3K4me3")
      mergeReplicates(grl, antibody)
