Description

subtracts features or ranges in object b from object a

Usage

bedr.subtract.region(
	x,
	y,
	fraction.overlap = 1/1e9,

	check.valid = TRUE,
	check.sort = TRUE,
	check.merge = TRUE,
	verbose = TRUE
	)

Arguments

x	item a
y	item b
fraction.overlap	what portion of A to be considered an overlap
remove.whole.feature	should whole feature be removed
check.zero.based	should 0 based coordinates be checked
check.chr	should chr prefix be checked
