Arguments

x

The query GenomicRanges instance.

subject

The subject GenomicRanges instance within which the nearest neighbors are found. Can be missing, in which case x is also the subject.

y

For the distance method, a GRanges instance. Cannot be missing. If x and y are not the same length, the shortest will be recycled to match the length of the longest.

k

For the nearestKNeighbors method, an integer declaring how many nearest neighbors to find.

select

Logic for handling ties. By default, all methods select a single interval (arbitrary for nearest, the first by order in subject for precede, and the last for follow).

When select="all" a Hits object is returned with all matches for x.

ignore.strand

A logical indicating if the strand of the input ranges should be ignored. When TRUE, strand is set to '+'.

...

Additional arguments for methods.

Details

Value

For nearest, precede and follow, an integer vector of indices in subject, or a Hits if select="all".

For nearestKNeighbors, an IntegerList of vertices in subject.

For distanceToNearest, a Hits object with a column for the query index (queryHits), subject index (subjectHits) and the distance between the pair.

For distance, an integer vector of distances between the ranges in x and y.
