Extending GRanges 5' and 3' UTR blocks

A function that extends the 5' and/or 3' UTR regions of GRanges including the 'blocks' column, which defines the exon structure of a transcript. As those loaded by ´tx_load_bed()´.

Arguments

GR

GRanges GRanges containing a blocks

ext_5p

integer Number of bp for the 5' UTR blocks to be extended

ext_3p

integer Number of bp for the 3' UTR blocks to be extended

Value

GRanges
