⚠️There's a newer version (1.24.1) of this package.Take me there.
GenomicRanges (version 1.18.4)
Representation and manipulation of genomic intervals
Description
The ability to efficiently represent and manipulate genomic
annotations and alignments is playing a central role when it comes
to analyze high-throughput sequencing data (a.k.a. NGS data).
The package defines general purpose containers for storing genomic
intervals. Specialized containers for representing and manipulating
short alignments against a reference genome are defined in the
GenomicAlignments package.
