Hey guys,
I would like to know if there are any methods of efficiently subset a
GRangeList by it seqnames.
I have something like this:
GRangesList of length 86046:
$1
GRanges with 27 ranges and 3 elementMetadata values:
seqnames ranges strand | exon_id exon_name
exon_rank
<rle> <iranges> <rle> | <integer> <character>
<integer>
[1] chr1 [66999065, 66999090] + | 1 <na>
1
[2] chr1 [66999928, 67000051] + | 2 <na>
2
[3] chr1 [67091529, 67091593] + | 3 <na>
3
[4] chr1 [67098752, 67098777] + | 4 <na>
4
[5] chr1 [67099762, 67099846] + | 5 <na>
5
[6] chr1 [67105459, 67105516] + | 6 <na>
6
[7] chr1 [67108492, 67108547] + | 7 <na>
7
[8] chr1 [67109226, 67109402] + | 8 <na>
8
[9] chr1 [67126195, 67126207] + | 9 <na>
9
... ... ... ... ... ... ...
...
In which each element ($1,$2,$3,...) represents a transcript and it
set of exons...
In the seqnames colum I have the chromosomes ranging from 1 to Y (all
24 human cromosomes), what I would like to know is how to get just the
elements accounting for chromosome 14...
I have made successfully by unlisting the structure into a huge normal
GRange and then subseting normally:
ex <- unlist(ex_tx)
ex14 <- ex[which(seqnames(ex) == "chr14")]
But obviously I lose the GRangesList structure. So are there any way
to subset this directly in the GRangesList without the need to unlist,
in a way that my result is also a GRangesList ?
Thanks,
Halian
