1 Introduction

Sequence-based TF affinity scoring can be conducted with the FIMO suite, see @Sonawane2017. We have serialized an object with references to FIMO outputs for 16 TFs.

suppressPackageStartupMessages({
library(TFutils)
library(GenomicRanges)
})
fimo16
## GenomicFiles object with 1 ranges and 16 files: 
## files: M0635_1.02sort.bed.gz, M3433_1.02sort.bed.gz, ..., M6159_1.02sort.bed.gz, M6497_1.02sort.bed.gz 
## detail: use files(), rowRanges(), colData(), ...

While the token bed is used in the filenames, the files are not actually bed format!

2 Importing with scanTabix

We can use reduceByRange to import selected scans.

if (.Platform$OS.type != "windows") {
 si = TFutils::seqinfo_hg19_chr17
 myg = GRanges("chr17", IRanges(38.07e6,38.09e6), seqinfo=si)
 colnames(fimo16) = fimo16$HGNC 
 lk2 = reduceByRange(fimo16[, c("POU2F1", "VDR")],
   MAP=function(r,f) scanTabix(f, param=r))
 str(lk2)
}

This result can be massaged into a GRanges or other desirable structure. fimo_granges takes care of this.
