  ncbi(x)
  ucsc(x)
  seqchar(x)

`x`	A 'GRanges' object or one inheriting from the 'GRanges' class [required].

grangesExtracts only the 'GRanges' information by dropping the metadata columns of the object. The 'seqinfo' slot is kept.
ncbi, ucscShorthand for converting the seqnames notation to 'UCSC' (e.g. 'chr1', 'chrM') or 'NCBI' (e.g. '1', 'MT”) notation, respectively. This also sets the 'genome' slot in the 'seqinfo' field to 'NA'.
seqcharExtracts the 'seqnames' as a character vector.

For 'ncbi', 'ucsc': An object of the same class as the input.

For 'seqchar': A character vector with 'seqnames'.
