Description

Determine cytoband position based on location of probe

Usage

position2Cytoband(chrom, position, units = "hg19", bands = c("major", "minor"))

Arguments

chrom	chromosomal id, chromosome to plot 1:22,X,Y
position	numeric vector
units	character, type of positional unit
bands	chararcter, type of cytoband

Value

Character vector with cytobands, if an illegal position was used, the value "-" is returned. All positions within a single function call should be for a single chromosome
