RangesList-methods: Ranges on a Genome

Description

Genomic coordinates are often specified in terms of a genome identifier, chromosome name, start position and end position. The rtracklayer package adds convenience methods to RangesList for the manipulation of genomic ranges. The spaces (or names) of RangesList are the chromosome names. The universe slot indicates the genome, usually as given by UCSC (e.g. “hg18”).
