Hi Micheal, My task is to count the reads of a bed file of different length in exons of genes with a controllable overlap option (by percentage, not by bases). Some people want to count it with overlap=100% length of reads, but some other might want to count it with 20% for example. This option should be very similar to minOverlap, but in percentage instead of bases. D. [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Would be my pleasure. Yes the functionality provided by this ranges,RangesMatching method is very useful but maybe we should try to give it a little bit more exposure. Right now it's kind of "hidden" in the man page for RangesMatching (which you will get with something like ?`RangesMatching-class` or ?`ranges,RangesMatching-method`) and not mentioned in any vignette AFAIK. Also it works only if query and subject are both Ranges objects but not with GRanges objects. So I propose to: 1. Rename this to something like overlaps(), or overlappingRanges(), or ... (fill the blank), and deprecate the ranges,RangesMatching method. overlaps() would be a new generic with the m,query,subject signature. The current name is probably part of the reason why nobody (except the original author of the method) knew about it. I personally find it unexpected that a quite non-specific name like "ranges" is used for this when it generally plays the role of an accessor to get/set the ranges of containers like IRanges, RangedData, GRanges, etc... 2. Add a "overlaps" method for RangesMatching,GenomicRanges,GenomicRanges. 3. Illustrate how to use this in the vignettes of GenomicRanges. Would that be OK?

What about a more generic solution to this very reasonable utility request by returning a somewhat complete overlap mapping result in a GRanges object that contains overlap start/end positions, percent/absolute overlap, overlap types, etc. The relative overlap filtering by percent values can then be performed very easily in a second step, like in this example: ## Two sample GRanges objects library(GenomicRanges) grq <- GRanges(seqnames = Rle(c("chr1", "chr2", "chr1", "chr3"), c(1, 3, 2, 4)), ranges = IRanges(seq(1, 100, by=10), end = seq(30, 120, by=10)), strand = Rle(strand(c("-", "+", "-")), c(1, 7, 2))) grs <- shift(grq[c(2,5,6)], 5) ## Return absolute and relative overlap positions with olRanges function source("http://faculty.ucr.edu/~tgirke/Documents/R_BioCond/My_R_Script s/rangeoverlapper.R") myol <- olRanges(query=grq, subject=grs, output="gr") # output="df" returns data frame myol ## Return overlaps that cover at least 50% of the query/subject ranges. myol[elementMetadata(myol)[, "OLpercQ"] > 50] myol[elementMetadata(myol)[, "OLpercS"] > 50] This works with both GRanges or IRanges objects as input. Wouldn't something like this be a nice "convenience output" argument for the findOverlap function???

After Michael's original input as to how to solve the problem, I added "my own" `quantifyOverlaps` function to my utility-belt which does much of what you suggest (really, it just returns an augmented matchMatrix). If the devs are opposed to adding more and more arguments to findOverlaps, perhaps a quanitfyOverlaps (or similar named function) that explicitly does this might be a more palatable alternative. -steve -- Steve Lianoglou Graduate Student: Computational Systems Biology ?| Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center ?| Weill Medical College of Cornell University Contact Info: http://cbio.mskcc.org/~lianos/contact

Dear IRanges / GenomicRanges / GenomicFeatures developers, first, thank you for these great packages, I use them a lot, because the are general and flexible enough, and yet very focused on genomic spaces. my question is in the title. I am glad to have a set of transcripts grouped by Entrez Gene IDs with the function transcriptBy(). However I would like to know what was the method and the rationale to create this association. The UCSC knownGene track, despite the name, is organized around transcripts rather than "genes". I cannot find this table on the UCSC genome website, neither I see documentation about it. I wold be glad to learn more about it. Best regards, Arnaud Amzallag Research Fellow Cancer center of the Massachusetts General Hospital Harvard Medical School

There's a table that maps the UCSC ID's to Entrez Gene. Called something like knownToLocusLink.

Thank you for your help Michael. I might ask them how they mapped it, I guess they had some coordinates for the Entrez genes and overlapped them with the transcripts.

Well, clearly I have not done it, but I would expect that a decent implementation of my method would take less than 2 minutes (although it depends on length of the stuff in the BED file you started with). At least the computational load should not be much more than running findOverlaps.

I definitely want to solve my problem using R, but given that I am still new to R and that I have anlysis to be done, and that I need something that get the job done quick (that was why I decided to go for R with the hope that some bioconductor packages would help), I got it done with C++ first. As soon as I have a more time to spend, I will try to make it to work with R.
