total_count_filter {pmartR}

Total Count Filter Object

Description

This function returns a totalcountFilt object for use with applyFilt

Usage

total_count_filter(omicsData)

Arguments

omicsData

an object of the class 'seqData', created by as.seqData

Details

Filter is based off of recommendations in edgeR processing, where the low-observed biomolecules are removed from processing. Default recommendation in edgeR is at least 15 total counts observed across samples (i.e., if the sum of counts in a row of e_data is < 15, default edgeR filtering would remove this biomolecule).

Value

An S3 object of class 'totalcountFilt' (data.frame) that contains the molecule identifier and the total count of observed reads for that molecule across all samples.
