GenomicOverlaps {ENCODExplorer} | R Documentation

## Create a GenomicOverlaps object.

### Description

Given a GRangesList object, determines which regions overlap with each others. The input regions are "flattened", and all overlapping regions (within and across the elements of the input `grl` parameter) are mapped to a new region whose `start` and `end` are the minimum `start` and maximum `end` of the initial overlapping regions.

### Usage

    GenomicOverlaps(grl, import_spec = list())

### Arguments

`grl` | The GRangesList object whose elements need to be overlapped with each others.
`import_spec` | A list of columns which should be imported into the resulting object. Each element should be named after a column in `mcols(grl)`, and should contain a function to be used to aggregate multiple values of that column.

### Details

A matrix indicating which input regions fall within these new mapped regions is then produced.

### Value

An object of class `GenomicOverlaps`.
