WS263Genes: Dataset of protein-coding genes in C. elegans
In fuscada2/PeakMapper: Flexible Mapping of Genomic Coordinates to Nearest Features

Description Usage Format Source

A dataset of 20,094 protein-coding genes from C. elegans, taken from release WS263 of the WormBase database (https://www.wormbase.org). Protein-coding genes were extracted from the full set of C. elegans genes obtained from WormBase by Daniel Fusca. This dataset is intended for annotating the peaks in the H3K27me3Peaks and H3K27me3PeaksSmall datasets. This object was imported from the BED file at inst/extdata/WS263Genes.bed using importBED.

1	WS263Genes

A dataframe with 20,094 rows and 6 columns, representing the first 6 fields of a standard BED file. Note that unlike in BED format, where intervals are right-open, the base pair given in "End" is actually included in the feature. The 6 columns are:

Chr: The chromosome the gene is on.
Start: The left endpoint of the gene.
End: The right endpoint of the gene. Unlike standard BED format, this position is actually included in the gene.
Name: The name given to the gene.
Score: An arbitrary numeric value that can be given to different genes in BED format (e.g. quality scores).
Strand: The strand of the gene: + for forward strand, - for reverse strand, and . for no strand information, in which case PeakMapper treats this gene as being on the forward strand.
