Member Function Overview
-
BedRecord::BedRecord();
Constructor.
Interface Function Overview
-
void clear(record);
Reset BED record to state after default initialization. -
int readRecord(record, reader[, context], Bed());
Read a BED record from a file. -
int writeRecord(stream, record[, context], Bed());
Write a BED record to a file.
Member Variable Overview
-
__int32 BedRecord::beginPosition
Begin position on the reference. -
CharString BedRecord::data
Any data after the last position. -
__int32 BedRecord::endPosition
End position on the reference. -
__int32 BedRecord::INVALID_POS
Constant for invalid positions. -
__int32 BedRecord::INVALID_REFID
Constant for invalid references. -
CharString BedRecord::ref
Name of the interval's reference name. -
__int32 BedRecord::rID
Numeric id of the interval's reference (__int32, defaults to INVALID_REFID).
Detailed Description
BED files allow the easy representation of intervals on the genome. Originally, they were designed for tracks in the UCSC genome browser. The original format has 12 columns but often variants using fewer columns with interpreted data are used and the rest is kept as application dependent data.
The BedRecord class allows for storing BED records. The various subclasses provide access to 3, 4, 5, 6, or 12 fields of the BED format. For example, a BedRecord<Bed>> has members variables for the first 5 columns of a BED file. The remaining data is stored as the CharString member variable data.
Remarks
The ref field is the name of the reference as loaded from the BED file. The rID field can be used to store a numeric reference id. When loading without using a BedIOContext, the rID field remains set to INVALID_REFID, otherwise the field is set to a different value.
Note that while the BED file format is 1-based, the coordinates in the BedRecord are 0-based.

BedRecord::BedRecord();
Interface Functions Detail
void clear(record);
Parameters
record
|
BedRecord to reset. |
---|
int readRecord(record, reader[, context], Bed());
Parameters
record
|
BedRecord object to write to. Types: BedRecord |
---|---|
context
|
The optional BedIOContext to use. |
reader
|
The SinglePassRecordReader to use. |
Returns
int |
Status code, 0 on success, other value on errors. |
---|
The type of the parameter record decides which fields are interpreted. The remainder of the line (excluding the line break) is written to record.data.
When context is given, the rID field is filled and the context's name store may be updated if a previously unknown reference occurs.
int writeRecord(stream, record[, context], Bed());
Parameters
record
|
The BedRecord to write. |
---|---|
stream
|
Stream object to write to. |
context
|
The optional BedIOContext to use. |
Returns
int |
Status code, 0 on success, other values on errors. |
---|
When context is given, the first field is written from the sequence with index record.rID in the context's name store.
