Biopiece: get_fixedstep

Description

get_fixedstep. The subsets can be obtained explicitly or from BED/PSL/BLAST entries in the stream.

Usage

get_fixedstep [options] <-i index> <-c chrom> <-b chrom begin> <-e chrom end>

or

... | get_fixedstep [options] <-i index>

Options

[-?          | --help]               #  Print full usage description.
[-c <string> | --chr=<string>]       #  Explicit chromosome name.
[-b <uint>   | --beg=<uint>]         #  Begin position of subset (1-based).
[-e <uint>   | --end=<uint>]         #  End position of subset.
[-I <file!>  | --stream_in=<file!>]  #  Read input from stream file  -  Default=STDIN
[-O <file>   | --stream_out=<file>]  #  Write output to stream file  -  Default=STDOUT
[-v          | --verbose]            #  Verbose output.

Examples

Consider the following fixedstep entry in the file test.wig:

fixedStep chrom=chrY start=6524 step=1
0.287
0.456
0.567
0.640
0.687
0.717
0.736
0.747
0.752

First, we need an index which we make with create_fixedstep_index:

read_fixedstep -i test.wig | create_fixedstep_index -d my_dir -i my_index -x

This creates the index files:

my_dir/my_index.index
my_dir/my_index.wig

Now, we can make a lookups in two different ways, explictly:

get_fixedstep -i my_dir/my_index -c chrY -b 1 -e 10000

STEP: 1
CHR_BEG: 6523
REC_TYPE: fixed_step
VALS: 0.287;0.456;0.567;0.640;0.687;0.717;0.736;0.747;0.752
CHR: chrY
---

Alternatively, if you have e.g. a BED file (or PSL or BLAST or similar) which generates a stream with CHR, CHR_BEG, and CHR_END keys you can do this with this BED entry from the file test.bed:

chrY    6524    65299

And:

read_bed -i test.bed | get_fixedstep -i my_dir/my_index   

STEP: 1
CHR_BEG: 6524
REC_TYPE: fixed_step
VALS: 0.456;0.567;0.640;0.687;0.717;0.736;0.747;0.752
CHR: chrY
---
