applyPileups {Rsamtools} | R Documentation

## Apply a user-provided function to calculate pile-up statistics across multiple BAM files.

### Description

`applyPileups` scans one or more BAM files, returning position-specific sequence and quality summaries.

### Usage

    applyPileups(files, FUN, ..., param)

### Arguments

`files` | A `PileupFiles` instances.
`FUN` | A function of 1 argument, `x`, to be evaluated for each yield (see `yieldSize`, `yieldBy`, `yieldAll`). The argument `x` is a `list`, with elements describing the current pile-up. The elements of the list are determined by the argument `what`, and include: seqnames: (Always returned) A named `integer()` representing the seqnames corresponding to each position reported in the pile-up. This is a run-length encoding, where the names of the elements represent the seqnames, and the values the number of successive positions corresponding to that seqname. pos: Always returned) A `integer()` representing the genomic coordinate of each pile-up position. seq: An `array` of dimensions nucleotide x file x position. The ‘nucleotide’ dimension is length 5, corresponding to ‘A’, ‘C’, ‘G’, ‘T’, and ‘N’ respectively. Entries in the array represent the number of times the nucleotide occurred in reads in the file overlapping the position. qual: Like `seq`, but summarizing quality; the first dimension is the Phred-encoded quality score, ranging from ‘!’ (0) to ‘~’ (93).
`...` | Additional arguments, passed to methods.
`param` | An instance of the object returned by `ApplyPileupsParam`.

### Details

Regardless of `param` values, the algorithm follows samtools by excluding reads flagged as unmapped, secondary, duplicate, or failing quality control.

### Value

`applyPileups` returns a `list` equal in length to the number of times `FUN` has been called, with each element containing the result of `FUN`.

`ApplyPileupsParam` returns an object describing the parameters.
