getProximalPromoter: Grab the region of the proximal promoter for a given gene...

In PriceLab/trena-until-01mar2018: Fit transcriptional regulatory networks using gene expression, priors, machine learning

Description

For the genome of a given Trena object, retrieve a data frame containing the region surrounding a target gene.

Usage

## S4 method for signature 'Trena'
getProximalPromoter(obj, geneSymbols, tssUpstream = 1000,
  tssDownstream = 1000)

Arguments

obj	An object of class Trena
geneSymbols	A vector containing genes of interest
tssUpstream	A designated distance upstream of the promoter to use as a shoulder (default = 1000)
tssDownstream	A designated distance downstream of the promoter to use as a shoulder (default = 1000)

Value

A dataframe containing the regions surrounding the proximal promoter

Examples

# Retrieve the proximal promoter for MEF2C using a shoulder size of 2000 on each side
trena <- Trena("hg38")
regions <- getProximalPromoter(trena, "MEF2C", 2000, 2000)
