Hi,

I have created this GRanges object from data frame. I want to select for seqnames Chr1- chr22 and chrX.

> x2
GRanges object with 232184 ranges and 1 metadata column:
                         seqnames        ranges strand |        gene

I created a vector for all chromosomes(1-22 and X).

>Total_chr  <-  c(paste("chr", 1:22, sep=''), 'chrX')
>Total_chr
[1] "chr1"  "chr2"  "chr3"  "chr4"  "chr5"  "chr6"  "chr7"  "chr8"  "chr9"  "chr10" "chr11"
[12] "chr12" "chr13" "chr14" "chr15" "chr16" "chr17" "chr18" "chr19" "chr20" "chr21" "chr22"
[23] "chrX"

When I am subsetting x2 using Total_chr, it gives only for chr1-chr22 not for chrX. However when I check in my GRanges object chrX is present.

Why is it so ? What I am missing while subsetting ?

You should use the existing functionality rather than rolling your own. As an example,

Also, note that this

tx2[seqnames(tx2) == standardChromosomes(tx)[1:23]]

doesn't work the way you might think. Using equality on a vector isn't really a thing. Instead you should use %in%

> tx2[seqnames(tx2) %in% standardChromosomes(tx)[1:23]]

Hi James,

Thanks !! I will stick to use the existing functionality rather than introducing my own.

Just for my understanding, I tried using standardChromosomes() on my GRanges object but still it shows only chr1 - chr22 but no chrX

> standardChromosomes(x1)[1:23]

I am wondering why it didn't work even using the standard functionality.

I would bet that the order of your GRanges object has chrX somewhere in the middle. For example, you have this:

> seqnames(x2)
factor-Rle of length 231104 with 23 runs
  Lengths: 20376 16951 14438  9533 11020 10604 11016 ... 13708  4497 13790  5456  2983  4996
  Values : chr1  chr2  chr3  chr4  chr5  chr6  chr7  ... chr17 chr18 chr19 chr20 chr21 chr22
Levels(47): chr1 chr2 chr3 chr4 ... chrUn_KI270442v1 chrUn_KI270744v1 chrUn_KI270750v1

Which indicates you have 23 chromosomes, some of which are not shown (they are in the ellipsis). And if you have chr1-22, but a total of 23, what's the 23rd one? What do you get from

levels(seqnames(x2))

23rd one is 'chrX'.
