Raising this one from the dead: this would be a very nice thing to have. It's tough explaining to users how to bridge GRanges and RangesList for aggregating vectors (RleLists) by GRanges. We could start with rangeSums, rangeMeans, rangeMaxs, etc, that directly summarize and RleList, and then maybe move towards a GenomicViews object. Maybe something for the next release cycle?

Hi there,

I just stumbled over more or less the same issue:

I would like to subset a RleList (as returned from coverage) by a GRanges object. Rather than applying any kind of summary statistics on these data, I would like to store it as it is.

I am fine with using RleList[Rangeslist], I just wondered if there is already any other solution out there..

Any comments will be highly appreciated!

 

Best,

Stefanie

Yeah I'd like to start working on something like this. Note that, kind of related to this, I added subsetting a named List by a GRanges subscript recently. But what we really need is a simple container that bundles a GRanges object with a named List subject, I think.

Yeah I'd like to start working on something like this. Note that, kind of related to this, I added subsetting a named List by a GRanges subscript recently. But what we really need is a simple container that bundles a GRanges object with a named List subject, I think.
