getReadthrough: Overlapping Coding Regions

In BioTIP: BioTIP: An R package for characterization of Biological Tipping-Point

Description

The getReadthrough() function is used to find long transcripts that cover more than two coding regions for gene regions of interst.

Usage

getReadthrough(gr, cod_gr)

Arguments

gr	A GRanges object that shows the start and end loci on genome.
cod_gr	A GRanges object contaning coding regions.

Examples

#First Load datasets and libraries
library(GenomicRanges)
data("gencode")
data("ILEF")
data("cod")

# Assigning datasets a GRanges object
gencode_gr = GRanges(gencode)
ILEF_gr = GRanges(ILEF)
cod_gr = GRanges(cod)

getReadthrough(ILEF_gr,  cod_gr)

## Not run: getReadthrough(cod_gr)
