Dear all,

would you please let me know -- is there any package in R / BioC that has implemented permutation/randomization tests on genomic regions , in the following way :

-- assuming that we have a set of 1000 specific genomic regions (i.e. promoters, enhancers, insulators), and a quantitative measure (let's say "promoter intensity", or "enhancer intensity")

-- to compare the intensity of these 1000 specific genomic regions with the intensity of the random sets of 1000 genomic regions , and compute a p-value.

thanks a lot,

-- bogdan

ps: 've been looking over https://bioconductor.org/packages/release/bioc/html/regioneR.html, although it is focused more on simple associations/spatial relations between the sets of genomic regions.
