findOverlaps on
two RangesList objects.
queryHits(x): Equivalent to
unname(as.matrix(x)[,1]).
subjectHits(x): Equivalent to
unname(as.matrix(x)[,2]).
space(x): gets the character vector naming the space
in the query RangesList for each hit, or NULL
if the query did not have any names.
x is a HitsList object. as.matrix(x): calls as.matrix on each
Hits, combines them row-wise and offsets the
indices so that they are aligned with the result of calling
unlist on the query and subject.
as.table(x): counts the number of hits for each
query element in x and outputs the counts as a table,
which is aligned with the result of calling unlist
on the query.
t(x): Interchange the query and subject in each space
of x, returns a transposed HitsList object.as.matrix method coerces a HitsList object in a
similar way to Hits, except a column is prepended that indicates
which space (or element in the query RangesList)
to which the row corresponds. The as.table method flattens or unlists the list, counts the
number of hits for each query range and outputs the counts as a
table, which has the same shape as from a single Hits
object.
To transpose a HitsList object x, so that the subject
and query in each space are interchanged, call t(x). This
allows, for example, counting the number of hits for each subject
element using as.table.
findOverlaps in the IRanges package,
which returns a HitsList object when the query and subject are
RangesList objects.
