GenomicRanges (version 1.20.8)
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.
