getReadthrough {BioTIP} | R Documentation

## Overlapping Coding Regions

### Description

The `getReadthrough`() function is used to find long transcripts that cover more than two coding regions for gene regions of interst.

### Usage

    getReadthrough(gr, cod_gr)

### Arguments

`gr` | A GRanges object that shows the start and end loci on genome.
`cod_gr` | A GRanges object contaning coding regions.

### Value

A GRanges object that returns overlapping regions of the classified transcript biotypes.

### Examples

    #First Load datasets and libraries
    library(GenomicRanges)
    data("gencode")
    data("ILEF")
    data("cod")

    # Assigning datasets a GRanges object
    gencode_gr = GRanges(gencode)
    ILEF_gr = GRanges(ILEF)
    cod_gr = GRanges(cod)

    getReadthrough(ILEF_gr,  cod_gr)

    ## Not run: getReadthrough(cod_gr)
