  gtfToBed(gtf, correctBases=TRUE)

Arguments

gtf

An imported gtf table.

correctBases

Logical subtract 1 from bases

Details

After a gtf file was imported with importGTF this function transforms it into a data.frame with bed formatting. The option correctBases adjusts the coordinates in the bed object according to the bed standard. The base counting in gtf starts with 1, wheras in bed-files they start with 0.
