combine

Combine two objects

Syntax

combinedData = combine(data1,data2)

newObj = combine(data1,data2,'Name',objName)

Description

combinedData = combine(data1,data2) combines sequence data from two objects of the same class (BioRead or BioMap) and returns the data combinedData in a new object. The combine function concatenates the properties of the two objects.

newObj = combine(data1,data2,'Name',objName) specifies the name objName for newObj.

Examples

Combine NGS Data

Load the first data set.

br1 = BioRead('ex1.sam')

br1 = 
  BioRead with properties:

     Quality: [1501x1 File indexed property]
    Sequence: [1501x1 File indexed property]
      Header: [1501x1 File indexed property]
       NSeqs: 1501
        Name: ''

Load the second data set.

br2 = BioRead('ex2.sam')

br2 = 
  BioRead with properties:

     Quality: [3307x1 File indexed property]
    Sequence: [3307x1 File indexed property]
      Header: [3307x1 File indexed property]
       NSeqs: 3307
        Name: ''

Combine the two data sets. Set the name of the new object to 'combinedData'.

br3 = combine(br1,br2,'Name','combinedData')

br3 = 
  BioRead with properties:

     Quality: {4808x1 cell}
    Sequence: {4808x1 cell}
      Header: {4808x1 cell}
       NSeqs: 4808
        Name: 'combinedData'

Input Arguments

data1 — First sequence read data

BioRead | BioMap

First sequence read data to be combined with the second sequence read data, specified as a BioRead or BioMap object.

data2 — Second sequence read data

BioRead | BioMap

Second sequence read data to be combined with the first sequence read data, specified as a BioRead or BioMap object.

objName — Name of combined object

'' (default) | character vector | string

Name of the combined object, specified as a character vector or string.
