inflateMethylome {methimpute} | R Documentation

## Inflate an imported methylation extractor file

### Description

Inflate an imported methylation extractor file to contain all cytosine positions. This is useful to obtain a full methylome, including non-covered cytosines, because most methylation extractor programs only report covered cytosines.

### Usage

    inflateMethylome(methylome, methylome.full)

### Arguments

`methylome` | A `GRanges-class` with methylation counts.
`methylome.full` | A `GRanges-class` with positions for all cytosines or a file with such an object.

### Value

The `methylome.full` object with added metadata column 'counts'.

### Examples

    ## Get an example file in BSSeeker format
    file <- system.file("extdata","arabidopsis_bsseeker.txt.gz", package="methimpute")
    bsseeker.data <- importBSSeeker(file)
    bsseeker.data

    ## Inflate to full methylome (including non-covered sites)
    data(arabidopsis_toydata)
    full.methylome <- inflateMethylome(bsseeker.data, arabidopsis_toydata)
    full.methylome
