IRangesList-class {IRanges}R Documentation

List of IRanges

Description

A RangesList that only stores IRanges instances.

Constructor

IRangesList(...): Each IRanges in ... becomes an element in the new IRangesList, in the same order. This is analogous to the list constructor, except every argument in ... must be derived from IRanges.

Coercion

as(from, "NormalIRanges"): Merges each of the elements into a single NormalIRanges through reduce.
unlist(x): Unlists x, an IRangesList, by concatenating all of the ranges into a single IRanges instance. If the length of x is zero, an empty IRanges is returned.

Examples

  range1 <- IRanges(start=c(1,2,3), end=c(5,2,8))
  range2 <- IRanges(start=c(15,45,20,1), end=c(15,100,80,5))
  named <- IRangesList(one = range1, two = range2)
  length(named) # 2
  names(named) # "one" and "two"
  named[[1]] # range1
  unnamed <- IRangesList(range1, range2)
  names(unnamed) # NULL
