Lists of RangedData

Description

IMPORTANT NOTE: Starting with BioC 2.12, the use of RangedData and RangedDataList objects is discouraged in favor of GRanges and GRangesList objects (those classes are defined in the GenomicRanges package).

A formal list of RangedData objects. Extends and inherits all its methods from List. One use case is to group together all of the samples from an experiment generating data on ranges.

Constructor

RangedDataList(...): Concatenates the RangedData objects in ... into a new RangedDataList.

Other methods

stack(x, index.var = "name"): Concantenates the elements of x into a RangedData, with a column named by index.var that groups the records by their original element in x.

Examples

  ranges <- IRanges(c(1,2,3),c(4,5,6))
  a <- RangedData(IRanges(c(1,2,3),c(4,5,6)), score = c(10L, 2L, NA))
  b <- RangedData(IRanges(c(1,2,4),c(4,7,5)), score = c(3L, 5L, 7L))
  RangedDataList(sample1 = a, sample2 = b)
