In PapenfussLab/svaRetro: Retrotransposed transcript detection from structural variants

#' Ranking matching transcripts
#' @details
#' This is an internal function which returns overlapping transcript names 
#' with ranking scores. 
#' The ranking score is the proportion of exon-exon fusions (intronic 
#' deletion events) detected for a given transcript.
#' @param genes TxDb object of genes. hg19 and hg38 are supported in the 
#' current version.
#' @param transcripts.col A vector of transcript names.
#' @keywords internal
#' @return A dataframe with two columns, tx_name and score.
