HodgesTools is an R package built by hodges lab members for current and future hodges lab members as well as anyone else who might find the tools useful. This package contains functions that the lab uses everyday to analyze various genomic datasets. Critically, this package only contains general use functions; functions specific to a given technique are reserved for a separate package. As the lab grows, we expect to continue adding functions to the package to build on previous lab members code.
Below is an example for the read_bed function.
The read_bed function reads a tab-delimited BED formatted file into R. It auto-detects BED3, BED6, BED3+, and BED6+ formats. Below is an example for a BED6 file.
# load package
devtools::load_all() #this is development code, use library(HodgesTools)
#> i Loading HodgesTools
#load data from extdata directory
BED6 <- system.file(package = "HodgesTools", "extdata", "test_BED6.bed")
#read 6 column bedfile into R
bed6 <- read_bed(BED6)
#> User-supplied file read as 6-column BED.
head(bed6)
