seqAlleleFreq {SeqArray} | R Documentation

## Get Allele Frequencies or Counts

### Description

Calculates the allele frequencies or counts for reference or minor alleles.

### Usage

    seqAlleleFreq(gdsfile, ref.allele=0L, minor=FALSE, .progress=FALSE,
        parallel=seqGetParallel())
    seqAlleleCount(gdsfile, ref.allele=0L, minor=FALSE, .progress=FALSE,
        parallel=seqGetParallel())

### Arguments

`gdsfile` | a `SeqVarGDSClass` object
`ref.allele` | `NULL`, a single numeric value, a numeric vector or a character vector; see Value
`minor` | if `TRUE`, return minor allele frequency/count
`.progress` | if `TRUE`, show progress information
`parallel` | `FALSE` (serial processing), `TRUE` (multicore processing), numeric value or other value; `parallel` is passed to the argument `cl` in `seqParallel`, see `seqParallel` for more details.

### Value

If `ref.allele=NULL`, the function returns a list of allele frequencies/counts according to all allele per site. If `ref.allele` is a single numeric value (like `0L`), it returns a numeric/integer vector for the specified allele (`0L` for the reference allele, `1L` for the first alternative allele, etc). If `ref.allele` is a numeric vector, `ref.allele` specifies each allele per site. If `ref.allele` is a character vector, `ref.allele` specifies the desired allele for each site (e.g, ancestral allele for the derived allele frequency/count).

### Examples

    # the GDS file
    (gds.fn <- seqExampleFileName("gds"))

    # display
    f <- seqOpen(gds.fn)

    # return a list
    head(seqAlleleFreq(f, NULL, .progress=TRUE))

    # return a numeric vector
    summary(seqAlleleFreq(f, 0L, .progress=TRUE))

    # return a numeric vector
    summary(seqAlleleFreq(f, 0L, minor=TRUE, .progress=TRUE))

    # return a numeric vector, AA is ancestral allele
    AA <- seqGetData(f, "annotation/info/AA", .padNA=TRUE)
    summary(seqAlleleFreq(f, AA))
    summary(seqAlleleFreq(f, AA, minor=TRUE))

    # allele counts
    head(seqAlleleCount(f, NULL, .progress=TRUE))
    head(seqAlleleCount(f, 0L, .progress=TRUE))
    head(seqAlleleCount(f, 0L, minor=TRUE, .progress=TRUE))
    head(seqAlleleCount(f, AA, .progress=TRUE))
    head(seqAlleleCount(f, AA, minor=TRUE, .progress=TRUE))

    # close the GDS file
    seqClose(f)
