addPseudoAlignment {RIPSeeker} | R Documentation

## Add a psuedoalignment as a placeholder for the chromosome (Internal function)

### Description

Check whether chromosome has at least one alignment to prevent abnormal behaviour of the subsequent functions. In case no alignment is found on an entire chromosome, add a pseudo-alignment as a placeholder for that chromosome.

### Usage

    addPseudoAlignment(alignGR)

### Arguments

`alignGR` | GRanges object containing the alignment information.

### Details

In case no alignment is found on an entire chromosome, add an alignment with start 1 and end 20 as a placeholder for the chromosome. This step is necessary to maintian the chromosome information.

### Value

`alignGR` | Original or augmented input GRanges object with pseudoreads, depending on whether there exists empty chromosome(s).
