gintervals.diff: Calculates difference of two intervals sets

In misha: Toolkit for Analysis of Genomic Data

Calculates difference of two intervals sets

Description

Returns difference of two sets of intervals.

Usage

gintervals.diff(intervals1 = NULL, intervals2 = NULL, intervals.set.out = NULL)

Arguments

intervals1, intervals2	set of one-dimensional intervals
intervals.set.out	intervals set name where the function result is optionally outputted

Details

This function returns a genomic space that is covered by 'intervals1' but not covered by 'intervals2'.

If 'intervals.set.out' is not 'NULL' the result is saved as an intervals set. Use this parameter if the result size exceeds the limits of the physical memory.

Value

If 'intervals.set.out' is 'NULL' a data frame representing the intervals.

Examples

gdb.init_examples()

intervs1 <- gscreen("dense_track > 0.15")
intervs2 <- gscreen("dense_track < 0.2")

## 'res3' equals to 'res4'
res3 <- gintervals.diff(intervs1, intervs2)
res4 <- gscreen("dense_track >= 0.2")
