Gets the mapping information used for a region type. These are structures used to map regions to the genomic loci (or
Infinium probes) that target them.
Region type. The built-in types are "cpgislands", "genes", "promoters" and
"tiling".
target.type
Target type for sites.
assembly
Genome assembly of interest. See rnb.get.assemblies for the list of supported
genomes.
Value
list of mapping structures, one per chromosome. Every mapping structure is an object of type
IRanges and stores the range of indices of all sites contained in the respective region.
Regions that do not contain sites are left out of the mapping.
