The goal of this package is to provide a function to easily import narrowPeak
and broadPeak files.
The rationale is that there is currently a
bug in the
ChIPseeker
package. When narrowPeak files are used, the 1st line is used as an header.
The first entry of the narrowPeak file is thus removed from the analysis. The
same problem is found with broadPeak files.
Until the bug is solved, it will be easier to load the narrowPeak and
broadPeak files using this package. The import_peaks function can also be
used in other context when narrowPeak and broadPeak files need to be
imported.
