plyranges (version 1.9.3)

select.Ranges: Select metadata columns of the Ranges object by name or position

Description

Select metadata columns of the Ranges object by name or position

Usage

# S3 method for Ranges
select(.data, ..., .drop_ranges = FALSE)

Arguments

.data

a Ranges object

...

One or more metadata column names.

.drop_ranges

If TRUE select will always return a tibble. In this case, you may select columns that form the core part of the Ranges object.

Value

a Ranges object or a tibble

Details

Note that by default select only acts on the metadata columns (and will therefore return a Ranges object) if a core component of a Ranges is dropped or selected without the other required components (this includes the seqnames, strand, start, end, width names), then select will throw an error unless .drop_ranges is set to TRUE.

# NOT RUN {
df <- data.frame(start = 1:10, width = 5,  seqnames = "seq1",
strand = sample(c("+", "-", "*"), 10, replace = TRUE), gc = runif(10), counts = rpois(10, 2))
rng <- as_granges(df)
select(rng, -gc)
select(rng, gc)
select(rng, counts, gc)
select(rng, 2:1)
select(rng, seqnames, strand, .drop_ranges = TRUE)
# }
