Running CircHunter circRNA classification module

This function executes the docker container circhunter by running the circRNA classification module of CircHunter starting from a set of circRNAs. For CircHunter algorithm detail please refer to: https://github.com/carlo-deintinis/circhunter/tree/master/CircHunter.

circrnaClassification(
  group = c("sudo", "docker"),
  scratch.folder,
  circrna.data,
  exon.data,
  isoform.data,
  assembly = "hg19"
)

Arguments

group,

a character string. Two options: "sudo" or "docker", depending to which group the user belongs
scratch.folder,

a character string indicating the scratch folder where docker container will be mounted
circrna.data,

string indicating the path to the list of circRNAs
exon.data,

string indicating the path to the exon annotation file
isoform.data,

string indicating the path to the isoform annotation file
assembly,

string indicating the reference human genome assembly. Compatible assemblies: hg19 (default), hg18, hg38, mm9, mm10, rn6, dm6, ce11

Value

Two tab-delimited tables reporting the transcript- and gene-level classification of a list of circRNAs
