object.
It processes the NCBI mapview annotation data downloaded from the following links: (these annotations include chromosomal coordinates of UTR and CDS regions of genes).
ftp://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/genomes/H_sapiens/mapview/seq_gene.md.gz
ftp://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/genomes/M_musculus/mapview/seq_gene.md.gz
This function finds the chromosomal coordinates of intergenic regions (regions between neighbouring genes) and then outputs them to a file.
It also outputs to a file chromosomal coordinates of exons of genes by concatenating UTRs with CDSs and merging overlapping CDSs within each gene.
The generated annotation files will then be used by detectionCallAnnotation
function to produce annotation data required by detectionCall
function.
