Usage

readPanels(file,
  colnames = c("marker", "dye.col", "min.bp", "max.bp", "exp.pcg", "repeat.bp",
    "stutter.pc", "uknw", "allele names"))

Arguments

file

The name of the Panel configuration file.

colnames

The names to be used for the columns of the data.frames.

# Check that we can read the 2 exemple files in the seqinR package:

path1 <- system.file("abif/AmpFLSTR_Panels_v1.txt", package = "seqinr")
res1 <- readPanels(path1)
path2 <- system.file("abif/Promega_Panels_v1.txt", package = "seqinr")
res2 <- readPanels(path2)
#
# Show the kits described in res1:
#
names(res1)
#
# Show some data for a given kit:
#
res1[["Identifiler_v1"]][, 1:7]
#
# Plot a simple summary of two kits:
#
par(mfrow = c(2,1))
plotPanels("Identifiler_v1", res1)
plotPanels("PowerPlex_16_v1", res2)

# Simple quality check since seqinR 2.0-4 with a file which containing
