This function returns a GRanges object containing a non-overlapping set regions derived from a supplied Genomic Ranges object.
nonOverlappingGR(gr = NULL, by = "score", decreasing = TRUE, verbose = FALSE)
Arguments
| gr |
A GRanges object. |
| by |
The name of a column in mcols(gr) that should be used to determine how overlapping regions should be resolved.
The resolution of overlapping regions also depends on decreasing. For example, if a column named "score" is used for by,
decreasing = TRUE means that the highest "score" in the overlap will be retained and decreasing = FALSE means that the
lowest "score" in the overlap will be retained. |
| decreasing |
A boolean value indicating whether the values in the column indicated via by should be ordered in decreasing
order. If TRUE, the higher value in by will be retained. |
| verbose |
A boolean value indicating whether the output should include extra reporting. |
