pos2gff {ChIPseqR} | R Documentation

## Convert genome coordinates into GFF format

### Description

Provides facility to export the location of genomic features to a GFF formatted file.

### Usage

    pos2gff(pos, method, feature, len, strand, score, name)

### Arguments

`pos` | Named list with one component per chromosome giving the start position of features on that chromosome.
`method` | Entry for method field in GFF file. Recycled as necessary
`feature` | Entry for feature field in GFF file. Recycled as necessary
`len` | Length of fetures. This is used to calculate matching end positions for each start position given in `pos`
`strand` | Entry for feature field in GFF file. Recycled as necessary
`score` | Entry for feature field in GFF file. Recycled as necessary
`name` | Entry for feature field in GFF file. Recycled as necessary

### Value

A `data.frame` with columns `'chromosome'`, `'method'`, `'feature'`, `'start'`, `'end'`, `'score'`, `'strand'`. Writing this data frame to a text file produces a GFF formatted file.
