A GRangesList or GRanges object. All chromosome lengths
must be stored in the Seqinfo of this object.
seq.len
If sequencing reads need to be extended, the fragment size to be used.
verbose
Whether to print the progress of processing.
...
Argument seq.len above, not directly used in the GRangesList method.
Value
For the GRanges method, data.frame containing columns
coverage and bases. For the GRangesList method,
a list of such data.frames.
Details
If seq.len is supplied, x is firstly extended, and then turned into
a coverage object. The number of extended reads covering each base pair of the
genome is then tabulated, and returned as a data.frame.
