findMostOverlapping: Find most overlapping element in subject for each element of...
In PeteHaitch/methsim: An R package to simulate DNA methylation data

Description Usage Arguments Value Note

Runs the appropriate findOverlaps method and then for elements of query that overlap multiple elements of subject chooses the element of subject that has the greater overlap. Ties are broken at random.

1	findMostOverlapping(query, subject, ignore.strand = FALSE)

`query`	Any object for which a 'findOverlaps' method is defined, e.g., a `GRanges`.
`subject`	Any object for which a 'findOverlaps' method is defined, e.g., a `GRanges`.
`ignore.strand`	When set to `TRUE`, the strand information is ignored in the overlap calculations.

An integer vector containing for each query the index of the subject that it most overlaps (NA if there is no overlap).

This was written for working with GRanges objects. While it may work with other objects for which a findOverlaps method exists, these are untested and correctness is not guaranteed. In particular, this will return an error if either the query or subject are GTuples or GTuplesList objects.
