Module Biocaml_unix.Bpmap

Affymetrix's BPMAP files. Only text format supported. Binary BPMAP files must first be converted to text using Affymetrix's probe exporter tool.

type probe = {
  1. org_name : string;
    (*

    name of organism on which probe is based

    *)
  2. version : string;
    (*

    genome build version on which probe is based

    *)
  3. chr_name : string;
    (*

    name of chromosome on which probe is based

    *)
  4. start_pos : int;
    (*

    start position of probe on given chromosome

    *)
  5. sequence : Seq.t;
    (*

    sequence of the perfect match probe

    *)
}
type row = {
  1. pmcoord : int * int;
    (*

    x,y-coordinates of perfect match probe.

    *)
  2. mmcoord : int * int;
    (*

    x,y-coordinates of mismatch probe

    *)
  3. probe : probe;
}

Type of information on one data row.

type t

Type of a BPMAP file.

exception Bad of string

Raised when encountering ill-formed BPMAP.

val num_probes : t -> int

Number of PM/MM probe pairs in given BPMAP. The number of total probes is twice this value.

val col_names : string list

Names of columns in BPMAP file, in the order required by specification.

val iter : (row -> unit) -> t -> unit
val fold : ('a -> row -> 'a) -> 'a -> t -> 'a
val to_list : t -> row list
I/O
val of_file : ?chr_map:(string -> string) -> string -> t

of_file file parses file. If given, chr_map is applied to every chromosome name. Raise Bad if there is a parse error.

val row_to_string : row -> string

String representation of row in same format as required by specification.

val to_file : string -> t -> unit

to_file file t prints t to file in format required by specification.
