exportToGtf: Export GRangesList to GTF

In fmicompbio/eisaR: Exon-Intron Split Analysis (EISA) in R

Export GRangesList to GTF

Description

Export the features in a GRangesList generated by getFeatureRanges to a GTF file. The function will represent each row of each of the entries as an "exon", each individual entry as a "transcript", and aggregate all features belonging to the same gene as a "gene" entry in the GTF file.

Usage

exportToGtf(grl, filepath)

Arguments

grl	GRangesList object, typically generated by getFeatureRanges
filepath	Path to output GTF file

Value

Does not return anything, generates a GTF file

Examples

  ## Get feature ranges
  grl <- getFeatureRanges(
    gtf = system.file("extdata/small_example.gtf", package = "eisaR"),
    featureType = c("spliced", "intron"),
    intronType = "separate",
    flankLength = 5L,
    joinOverlappingIntrons = FALSE,
    verbose = TRUE
  )
  
  ## Export GTF
  exportToGtf(grl = grl, filepath = file.path(tempdir(), "exported.gtf"))
