mergeWithAnnotation: Combine data with annotation
In Genominator: Analyze, manage and store genomic data

Description Usage Arguments Details Value Author(s) See Also Examples

This function creates a data frame containing the data and the corresponding annotation information for each data row included in the annotation.

1 2	mergeWithAnnotation(expData, annoData, what = "*", ignoreStrand = FALSE, splitBy = NULL, verbose = getOption("verbose"))

`expData`	An object of class `ExpData`.
`annoData`	A data frame which must contain the columns `chr`, `start`, `end` and `strand` which specifies annotation regions of interest.
`what`	Which columns of `expData` to include.
`ignoreStrand`	Logical indicating whether strand should be ignored. If `TRUE`, data from either strand that falls into an annotation region is included.
`splitBy`	Field on which merged data frame should be split before returning.
`verbose`	Logical indicating whether details should be printed.

Generally this function is good for creating a list of data split by some annotation feature, which can then be applied across.

If splitBy is NULL, returns a data frame containing the data from expData that fall into regions defined by annoData, and which includes the annotation information, with columns as specified by what. If splitBy is non-NULL, returns a list of data frames with an element for each unique value of splitBy field.
