Identifies gaps of a genome where there exist no observations.
# S3 method for default
findLargeGaps(chromosome=NULL, x, minLength, resolution=1L, ...)
A positive numeric
scalar specifying the minimum
length of a gap.
A non-negative numeric
specifying the minimum
length unit, which by default equals one nucleotide/base pair.
Not used.
Returns data.frame
zero or more rows and with columns
chromosome
(if given), start
, stop
,
and length
.
Use gapsToSegments
() to turn the set of identified gaps into
the complementary set of segments such that they can be passed
to segmentByCBS
(), segmentByPairedPSCBS
() and
segmentByNonPairedPSCBS
() via argument knownSegments
.
