gapsToSegments.data.frame: Gets the genomic segments that are complementary to the gaps
Description
Gets the genomic segments that are complementary to the gaps, with default chromosome boundaries being -Inf
and +Inf
.Usage
## S3 method for class 'data.frame':
gapsToSegments(gaps, resolution=1L, minLength=0L, dropGaps=FALSE, ...)
Arguments
gaps
A data.frame
with columns chromosome
, start
,
and stop
. Any overlapping gaps will throw an error. resolution
A non-negative numeric
specifying the minimum
length unit, which by default equals one nucleotide/base pair. minLength
Minimum length of segments to be kept.
dropGaps
If TRUE
, the gaps themselves are not part of the output. Value
- Returns
data.frame
with columns chromosome
(if that argument
is given), start
, stop
and length
.
The segments are ordered along the genome.
