factorFootprints {ATACseqQC} | R Documentation

## plot ATAC-seq footprints infer factor occupancy genome wide

### Description

Aggregate ATAC-seq footprint for a given motif generated over binding sites within the genome.

### Usage

    factorFootprints(bamfiles, index = bamfiles, pfm, genome,
      min.score = "95%", bindingSites, seqlev = paste0("chr", c(1:22, "X",
      "Y")), upstream = 100, downstream = 100, maxSiteNum = 1e+06,
      anchor = "cut site")

### Arguments

`bamfiles` | A vector of characters indicates the file names of bams. All the bamfiles will be pulled together.
`index` | The names of the index file of the 'BAM' file being processed; This is given without the '.bai' extension.
`pfm` | A Position frequency Matrix represented as a numeric matrix with row names A, C, G and T.
`genome` | An object of BSgenome.
`min.score` | The minimum score for counting a match. Can be given as a character string containing a percentage (e.g. "95 score or as a single number. See matchPWM.
`bindingSites` | A object of GRanges indicates candidate binding sites (eg. the output of fimo).
`seqlev` | A vector of characters indicates the sequence levels.
`upstream, downstream` | numeric(1) or integer(1). Upstream and downstream of the binding region for aggregate ATAC-seq footprint.
`maxSiteNum` | numeric(1). Maximal number of predicted binding sites. if predicted binding sites is more than this number, top maxSiteNum binding sites will be used.
`anchor` | "cut site" or "fragment center". If "fragment center" is used, the input bamfiles must be paired-end.

### Value

an invisible list of matrixes with the signals for plot. It includes: - signal mean values of coverage for positive strand and negative strand in feature regions - spearman.correlation spearman correlations of cleavage counts in the highest 10-nucleotide-window and binding prediction score. - bindingSites predicted binding sites.
