A GRanges object defining a minimalistic artificial human chromosome with 200,000 bp length

hgA

Real human genome-based examples would require the supply of massive data and would require lengthy computation times. Therefore, the examples supplied with this package are based on a small single-chromosome artificial genome. The GRanges object hgA provides a description of this artificial genome that can be used for further processing, e.g. by the partitionRegions function.
