split_on_utr_and_add_feature: Split GRanges object based on cds

Description Usage Arguments Value Examples

View source: R/utilities.R

Description

This function will look for ranges (exons) in the GRanges object that has the coding DNA sequence starting or stopping within it. If found, these exons are split, and each exon in the GRanges object will be tagged as either "protein_coding", "5utr", or "3utr". The returned GRanges object will have feature values set in mcols(gr)$feature reflecting this.

Usage

1

Arguments

gr

The GRanges object we want to split and tag with feature info.

Value

An updated GRanges object with feature values set.

# Check the length again
length(gr)
# Should be 11 now, as the range containing the cds_strat position and the
# range containing the cds_stop position has been split into separate ranges
