## S4 method for signature 'GvizManager'
getGeneRegionBySymbol(object, symbol,
  offsetUp = 0.1, offsetDown = 0.1, exactMatch = TRUE,
  ignore.case = FALSE)

Arguments

object

GvizManager object

symbol

character specifying the gene symbol for which coordinates should be retrieved

offsetUp

offset for retrieving a flanking region upstream of the gene. Can be an integer (e.g. 5L) for the absolute number of bases or a double that specifies the relative length of the gene

offsetDown

offset for retrieving a flanking region downstream of the gene. Can be an integer (e.g. 5L) for the absolute number of bases or a double that specifies the relative length of the gene

exactMatch

should the symbol match exactly or should it just be contained in the symbol annotation

ignore.case

ignore the case when matching the symbol

Value

a GRanges object containing the gene coordinates
