Identifies nearest genes to a region

Description

Auxiliary function for GetNearGenes This will get the closest genes (n=numFlankingGenes) for a target region (TRange) based on a genome of refenrece gene annotation (geneAnnot). If the transcript level annotation (tssAnnot) is provided the Distance will be updated to the distance to the nearest TSS.

Usage

getRegionNearGenes(
  TRange = NULL,
  numFlankingGenes = 20,
  geneAnnot = NULL,
  tssAnnot = NULL
)

Arguments

TRange

A GRange object contains coordinate of targets.

numFlankingGenes

A number determine how many gene will be collected from each

geneAnnot

A GRange object contains gene coordinates of for human genome.

tssAnnot

A GRange object contains tss coordinates of for human genome.

Value

A data frame of nearby genes and information: genes' IDs, genes' symbols,
