In CNVScope: A Versatile Toolkit for Copy Number Variation Relationship Data Analysis and Visualization

#' Convert coordinates in underscored format to a GRanges object.
#'
#' This function creates a new GRanges object from a character vector of coordinates in the form "chr1_0_5000" and creates a GRanges object from them.
#' @keywords CNV GRanges Genomic Ranges position
#' @param underscored_positions A vector of positions of the form c("chr1_0_5000","chr1_7500_10000","chr1_10000_15000")
#' @param extended_data Optional metadata columns. These columns cannot be named "start", "end", "width", or "element". Passed to GRanges object as ...
#' @param zeroToOneBasedStart Converts a set of underscored positions that begin with zero to GRanges where the lowest positional value on a chromosome is 1. Essentially adds 1 to start
#' @param zeroToOneBasedEnd Adds 1 to the end of the underscored positions
#' @return A GRanges object
#' @examples
