getChromLoc: Get Chromasome Location

In TReNA: Fit transcriptional regulatory networks using gene expression, priors, machine learning

Description

Using the gtf table in the genome database contained in a FootprintFinder object, get the locations of chromasomes with the specified gene name, biological unit type, and molecule type

Usage

## S4 method for signature 'FootprintFinder'
getChromLoc(obj, name, biotype = "protein_coding",
  moleculetype = "gene")

Arguments

obj	An object of class FootprintFinder
name	A gene name or ID
biotype	A type of biological unit (default="protein_coding")
moleculetype	A type of molecule (default="gene")

Value

A dataframe containing the results of a database query pertaining to the specified name, biotype, and molecule type. This dataframe contains the following columns: gene_id, gene_name, chr, start, endpos, strand
