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).
