Accesor method for the PFMFormat slot in a genomicProfileParameters object

Description

Accesor method for the PFMFormat slot in a genomicProfileParameters object

Usage

PFMFormat(object)

Arguments

Details

If loading a PositionFrequencyMatrix from a file, the format of the file should be specified. Default is raw. Please keep in mind that this argument is used when parsing the PositionFrequencyMatrix file. IF this argument is changed after building the genomicProfileParameters with a PositionFrequencyMatrix file, this will not influence the parsing of the file. PFMFormat can be one of the following: "raw","transfac","JASPAR" or "sequences"

Value

Returns the value assigned to the PFMFormat slot a genomicProfileParameters

Examples

# Loading data
data(ChIPanalyserData)
#Loading PFM files
PFM <- file.path(system.file("extdata",package="ChIPanalyser"),"BCDSlx.pfm")
#Building data objects
#### THIS IS THE PREFFERED METHOD FOR SETTING PFMFormat
GPP <- genomicProfileParameters(PFM=PFM,PFMFormat="raw")
#Setting New value for PFMFormat
