In RIPSeeker: RIPSeeker: a statistical package for identifying protein-associated transcripts from RIP-seq experiments

Description Usage Arguments Value Note Author(s) References See Also Examples

A wrapper function of export with additional support for exporting tab-delimted format with no re-arrangement of the original GRanges output.

1	exportGRanges(gRanges, outfile, exportFormat)

`gRanges`	`GRanges` object to export.
`outfile`	File path for output.
`exportFormat`	Desirable format including "txt" and other formats specified in `export`.

Output the text to the file stream defined in outfile.

The function is used in ripSeek to export desired format and can be used as general purpose function.
