Accessor method the minPWMScore slot in a genomicProfileParameters object

Description

Accessor method the minPWMScore slot in a genomicProfileParameters object

Usage

minPWMScore(object)

Arguments

Details

minPWMScore can be described as the lowest PWM score computed at a genome wide scale. Although it is possible to assigne a value to minPWMScore, we strongly advise to use the value computed and assigned internally. This value is computed in the computeGenomeWidePWMScore function.

Value

Returns the value assigned to the minPWMScore slot in a genomicProfileParameters object.

Examples

#Data extraction
data(ChIPanalyserData)
# path to Position Frequency Matrix
PFM <- file.path(system.file("extdata",package="ChIPanalyser"),"BCDSlx.pfm")
#As an example of genome, this example will run on the Drosophila genome

if(!require("BSgenome.Dmelanogaster.UCSC.dm3", character.only = TRUE)){
    source("https://bioconductor.org/biocLite.R")
    biocLite("BSgenome.Dmelanogaster.UCSC.dm3")
}
library(BSgenome.Dmelanogaster.UCSC.dm3)
DNASequenceSet <- getSeq(BSgenome.Dmelanogaster.UCSC.dm3)
#Building data objects
GPP <- genomicProfileParameters(PFM=PFM)

# Computing Genome Wide
GenomceWide <- computeGenomeWidePWMScore(DNASequenceSet = DNASequenceSet,
    genomicProfileParameters = GPP)
minPWMScore(GenomceWide)

## If used before computeGenomeWidePWMScore, will return NULL
