Mark overlapping intervals with a group ID

gintervals.mark_overlaps(
  intervals,
  group_col = "overlap_group",
  unify_touching_intervals = TRUE
)

Arguments

intervals: intervals set
group_col: name of the column to store the overlap group IDs (default: "overlap_group")
unify_touching_intervals: if 'TRUE', touching one-dimensional intervals are unified

Value

The intervals set with an additional column containing group IDs from gintervals.canonic mapping. All overlapping intervals will have the same group ID.

Examples


gdb.init_examples()
# Create sample overlapping intervals
intervs <- data.frame(
    chrom = "chr1",
    start = c(11000, 100, 10000, 10500),
    end = c(12000, 200, 13000, 10600),
    data = c(10, 20, 30, 40)
)

# Mark overlapping intervals
intervs_marked <- gintervals.mark_overlaps(intervs)

# Use custom column name
intervs_marked <- gintervals.mark_overlaps(intervs, group_col = "my_groups")
