makeGeneRegion {GenomeGraphs}R Documentation

Creates an object of class Gene containing the intron-exon structures of genes

Description

Creates an object of class Gene containing the intron-exon structures of genes. Given a start and end position, strand and chromosome, all the intron-exon strcutures of all genes laying in this region will be retrieved.

Usage

makeGeneRegion(start, end, chromosome, strand, biomart, dp = NULL)

Arguments

start Start position on chromosome
end End position on chromosome
chromosome Chromosome name
strand Strand either + or -
biomart Mart object, created by the useMart function of biomaRt
dp Object of class DisplayPars, determines the display of features on the plot

Value

An object of class Gene
