## GenomicAnnotations S4 class
##
## This class is used to manage information about genomic features under investigation: i.e. genomic genes, SNP or others, with particular focus on the genomic coordinates of each of them.
## Other additional annotations associated to each element can be stored in a GenomicAnnotations object in the optionalAnnotations slots
##
##
## SLOTS
##
## - ids: a character vector of unique identifiers for the genomic features under investigation
##
## - chr: a numeric vector representing the chromosome where each ids is mapped.
## Please note that chromosome usually not represented with a number must will be comverted to a number as well.
## e.g. for Human, chromsomomes X and Y will be converted to chromsomes 23 and 24 respectively.
## User defined options will allow this conversion during GenomicAnnotations objects initialization.
##
## - start: a numeric vector of start genomic position for each genomic feature under investigation (i.e. gene, transcript, SNP or other elements).
##
## - end: a numeric vector of end genomic position for each genomic feature under investigation (i.e. gene, transcript, SNP or other elements).
##
## - strand: a numeric vector of strand genomic position for each genomic feature under investigation: value 1 is used for "plus" (forward) strand and value -1 for "minus" (reverse) strand.
## User defined options will allow the conversion to this format during GenomicAnnotations objects initialization.
##
## - chromosomesNumbers: a numeric vector containing the list of chromosomes for which genomic annotations are provided in the GenomicAnnotations object.
## Each chromosome is represented just once in increasing order. Please note that chromosomes usually not represented with a number will be comverted to a number as well.
## e.g. for Human, chromsomomees X and Y will be converted to chromsomes 23 and 24 respectively.
##
## - chromosomesLabels: a character vector containing the list of chromosomes for which genomic annotations are provided in the GenomicAnnotations object.
## Each chromosome is represented just once in the same order as reported in chromosomesNumbers slot.
## This slot is actually used just to provide a label for each associated chromosome number, in case that some non numeric chromsome is used
## (e.g. to preserve the correspondence between chr 23 and the actual chr X in Human)
##
## - optionalAnnotations: optional annotations associated to the genomic features can be managed along with genomic positions annotations.
## E.g. GeneSymbol or EntrezGene ids can be associated to gene related GenomicAnnotaitons objects.
## These additional annotations are not mandatory (the default value for this slot is NULL)
## The additional annotations must be provided as a matrix of character,
## with a number of rows equal to the length of "ids" slot and a number of columns equal
## to le thength of "optionalAnnotationsHeaders" slot.
##
## - optionalAnnotationsHeaders: the list of names associated to optional annotations. Please avoid using spaces in annotations names.

## GenomicAnnotationsForPREDA S4 class
##
## This class is equivalent to the GenomicAnnotations class but includes an additional slot specifying
## the reference position that will be used for PREDA smoothing of data: this is included in the "position" slot.

## This reference position usaually is the start, the end, or the median posizion of each considered genomic feature, nevertheless other user defined positions could be used as well.
