    method.
  use.names is FALSE), the
    names of this GRangesList object
    (aka the group names) are the internal ids of the features
    used for grouping (aka the grouping features), which are
    guaranteed to be unique.
    If use.names is TRUE, then the names of the
    grouping features are used instead of their internal ids.
    For example, when grouping by transcript (by="tx"),
    the default group names are the transcript internal ids
    ("tx_id"). But, if use.names=TRUE, the group
    names are the transcript names ("tx_name").
    Note that, unlike the feature ids, the feature names are not
    guaranteed to be unique or even defined (they could be all
    NAs). A warning is issued when this happens.
    See ?id2name for more information about
    feature internal ids and feature external names and how
    to map the formers to the latters.    Finally, use.names=TRUE cannot be used when grouping
    by gene by="gene". This is because, unlike for the
    other features, the gene ids are external ids (e.g. Entrez
    Gene or Ensembl ids) so the db doesn't have a "gene_name"
    column for storing alternate gene names.
  
NULL or a named list of vectors to be used to
    restrict the output. Valid names for this list are:
    "gene_id",
    "tx_id", "tx_name",
    "tx_chrom", "tx_strand",
    "exon_id", "exon_name",
    "exon_chrom", "exon_strand",
    "cds_id", "cds_name",
    "cds_chrom", "cds_strand" and "exon_rank".
  promoters : An integer(1) value indicating the
    number of bases upstream from the transcription start site. For
    additional details see ?`promoters,GRanges-method`.
  promoters : An integer(1) value indicating the 
    number of bases downstream from the transcription start site. For 
    additional details see ?`promoters,GRanges-method`.
  disjointExons : A logical. When FALSE
    (default) exon fragments that overlap multiple genes are dropped.
    When TRUE, all fragments are kept and the gene_id
    metadata column includes all gene ids that overlap the exon fragment.
  disjointExons : A logical. When TRUE
    (default) a tx_name metadata column is included that 
    lists all transcript names that overlap the exon fragment. 
  distance, a OrganismDb instance. The
   id is used to extract ranges from the OrganismDb
   which are then used to compute the distance from x.
  character vector the same length as x.
    The id must be identifiers in the OrganismDb object.
    type indicates what type of identifier id is. 
  character(1) describing the id. 
    Must be one of gene, tx, exon or
    cds.
  logical indicating if the strand of the ranges
    should be ignored. When TRUE, strand is set to '+'.
  x is a BSgenome object.
    Internally, it's turned into a GRangesList
    object with exonsBy(transcripts, by="tx", use.names=TRUE).
  x is a DNAString object.    Can be an atomic vector, a factor, or an Rle object,
    in which case it indicates the strand of each transcript (i.e. all the
    exons in a transcript are considered to be on the same strand).
    More precisely: it's turned into a factor (or factor-Rle)
    that has the "standard strand levels" (this is done by calling the
    strand function on it). Then it's recycled
    to the length of RangesList object transcripts
    if needed. In the resulting object, the i-th element is interpreted
    as the strand of all the exons in the i-th transcript.
    strand can also be a list-like object, in which case it indicates
    the strand of each exon, individually. Thus it must have the same
    shape as RangesList object transcripts
    (i.e. same length plus strand[[i]] must have the same length
    as transcripts[[i]] for all i).
    strand can only contain "+" and/or "-" values.
    "*" is not allowed.
