simSonic {sonicLength}

Simulate Sonicated Data

Description

Sonication and Processing of DNA containing retroviral sequences yields genomic locations of retroviral insertion sites and a set of associated fragment lengths. The simulation depends on the expected number of fragments from each site and the distribution of lengths.

Usage

simSonic( theta, phi )

Arguments

theta

a vector of expected number of fragments from each site. If the vector has unqiue names, these will be used to label the locations

phi

a vector of probabilities (or a list containing a vector named phi) whose names are like 'rep len', where 'rep' defines the replicate and 'len' defines the sonicant length . More than one replicate can be used, In any case 1-exp(-phi%o%theta) determines the probability of observations in the different locaitons, of the different lengths, and in different replicates
