Read a .bed file into a data frame, but only the chr, start, end and strand columns.
| 1 | read.bed(filename, chr)
 | 
| filename | Character - The path to the .bed file in question. | 
| chr | Character vector, specifying which chromosomes to read in. Chromosome names must be specified exactly as they appear in the .bed files. If  | 
The purpose of this function is to extract 4 columns from a bed file: chromosome, start, end and strand. These are assumed to be in columns 1, 2, 3 and 6 respectively.
If the first line begins with "track" then it will be skipped.
The strand sense is expected to be given as "+"/"-".
A RangedData object, split into spaces by chromosome. This object has a "strand" data track.
See the IRanges package vignette for more information.
