netToAxt {CNEr} | R Documentation

## netToAxt

### Description

Wrapper function of `netToAxt` and `axtSort`: convert net (and chain) to axt, and sort axt files. This function doesn't work on the Windows platform since Kent utilities only support Linux and Unix platforms.

### Usage

      netToAxt(in.net, in.chain, assemblyTarget, assemblyQuery,
               axtFile=paste0(sub("\\.2bit$", "", basename(assemblyTarget),
                                  ignore.case = TRUE), ".",
                              sub("\\.2bit$", "", basename(assemblyQuery),
                                  ignore.case = TRUE), ".net.axt"),
               removeFiles=FALSE,
               binaryNetToAxt="netToAxt", binaryAxtSort="axtSort")

### Arguments

`in.net` | `character`(1): file names of input net file.
`in.chain` | `character`(1): file names of input chain file.
`assemblyTarget` | `character`(1): the file name of target assembly twoBit file.
`assemblyQuery` | `character`(1): the file name of query assembly twoBit file.
`axtFile` | `character`(1): file names of output axt file.
`removeFiles` | `boolean`: When `TRUE`, the input net and chain files will be removed after the conversion.
`binaryNetToAxt` | `character`(1): the name/filename of the binary `netToAxt` to call.
`binaryAxtSort` | `character`(1): the name/filename of the binary `axtSort` to call.

### Value

`character`(1): the file name of output axt file.
