Get a Data Frame of Sequence Lengths from a SequenceSummary object

Description

An object that inherits from class SequenceSummary contains sequence length data by position gathered by readSeqFile. getSeqlen is an accessor function that returns the sequence length data.

This accessor function is useful if you want to map variables to custom ggplot2 aesthetics.

Usage

  getSeqlen(x)

Arguments

Value

getSeqlen returns a data.frame with columns:

Methods

signature(x = "SequenceSummary")

getSeqlen is an accessor function that works on any object read in with readSeqFile; that is, objects that inherit from SequenceSummary.

Examples

  library(ggplot2)

  ## Load a FASTQ file, with sequence hashing.
  s.trimmed.fastq <- readSeqFile(system.file('extdata', 'test-trimmed.fastq',
    package='qrqc'))

  # A custom plot - a bit contrived, but should show power
  d <- merge(getSeqlen(s.trimmed.fastq), getQual(s.trimmed.fastq),
    by.x="length", by.y="position")
  ggplot(d) + geom_linerange(aes(x=length, ymin=0, ymax=count),
    color="grey") + geom_linerange(aes(x=length, ymin=lower, ymax=upper),
    color="blue") + scale_y_continuous("quality/count") + theme_bw()
