tallyRanges {h5vc} | R Documentation

## Tallying function with a `GRanges` interface.

### Description

Functions for tallying bam files in genomic intervals provided as `GRanges` objects, special version of the function for direct writing or computation on a cluster exist.

### Usage

    tallyRanges(bamfiles, ranges, reference, q = 25, ncycles = 10, max.depth = 1e+06)
    tallyRangesToFile(tallyFile, study, bamfiles, ranges, reference, samples = NULL, q = 25, ncycles = 0, max.depth=1e6)
    tallyRangesBatch(tallyFile, study, bamfiles, ranges, reference, q = 25, ncycles = 10, max.depth=1e6, regID = "Tally", res = list("ncpus" = 2, "memory" = 24000, "queue"="research-rh6"), written = c(), wrfile = "written.jobs.RDa", waitTime = Inf)

### Arguments

`bamfiles` | Character vector giving the locations of the bam files to be tallied
`ranges` | A GRanges object describing the ranges that tallies shalle be generated in, e.g. the result of a call to `binGenome` or a set of exon or gene annotations provided by a `TxDB` object.
`reference` | `BSgenome` object describing the reference genome that the alignments were made against.
`samples` | The indices (within the HDF5 datasets) corresponding to the samples that the data represents. You can use this option to write sub-sets of samples from a cohort.
`q` | Read alignment quality cut-off.
`ncycles` | Number of cycles from the front and back of the reads that should be considered unreliable for mismatch detection
`max.depth` | Maximum depth of coverage to consider
`tallyFile` | Filename of the HDF5 tally file that the data shall be written to
`study` | The location within the HDF5 file that corresponds to the HDF5-group representing the study we are working on.
`regID` | Identifier for a `BatchJobs` registry which will be used to store and organise the cluster jobs used for parallelisation of the work.
`res` | Resource list specifying the compute resources to be requested for each of the cluster jobs.
`written` | Numerical vector indicating the Job IDs of jobs whose results have already been written to the tally file, this can be used to resume writing after a crash.
`wrfile` | Filename for a file to store the IDs of already written jobs in, can be used to resume writing after a crash.
`waitTime` | How long shall the function wait on cluster jobst to finish, before giving up. Default is wait forever.

### Details

`tallyRanges` returns the tallies corresponding to the specifed ranges, `tallyToFile` performs the same task but writes the results to the tally file directly. `tallyRangesBatch` uses the `BatchJobs` package to set up cluster jobs for tallying and collects and writes the results of those jobs to the tally file. It is important to have a properly configured cluster (inlcuding a `.BatchJobs.R` as well as a template file). See the documentation of `BatchJobs` for that information.

### Value

For `tallyRanges` the return value is a `list` of `list`s, where the top level corresponds to the ranges provided as an input to the function and each element is a list of the datasets in compatible format, that can directly be written to an HDF5 file using the `writeToTallyFile` function. The other two function perform the writing directly and return
