Hi!
Problem summary: How to retrieve part of the sequence of mRNA around
given location.
I have the locations of the binding to mRNA events as GRanges
(GRevents) and need to retrieve sequence for motif finding. The
problem is that if I use getSeq(flank(GRevents, width=n)) then I get
the genomic sequence not transcript sequence, i.e. not accounting for
introns or mRNA border. I have tried solving it with
exonsBy("transcriptDb object", "tx") function but without success.
Question: Is there a bioconductor-supported way of getting resolving
the problem? With CLIPseq being more and more popular this will be
very demanded function.
Thanks,
Lukasz
