Variables

var (
	// Strand forward.
	SF = utils.Intern("+")
	// Strand reverse.
	SR = utils.Intern("-")
)

Symbols for optional strand field of a Region.

Functions

func AddRegion

func AddRegion(bed *Bed, region *Region)

AddRegion adds a region to the bed region map.

Types

type Bed

type Bed = utils.SmallMap

Bed represents the contents of a BED file. See https://genome.ucsc.edu/FAQ/FAQformat.html#format1 It maps chromosome names onto bed regions. utils.Symbol -> []*Region

func ParseBed

func ParseBed(filename string) Bed

ParseBed parses a BED file. See https://genome.ucsc.edu/FAQ/FAQformat.html#format1

type Region

type Region struct {
	Chrom          utils.Symbol
	Start          int32
	End            int32
	OptionalFields []interface{}
}

A Region is a struct for representing intervals as defined in a BED file. See https://genome.ucsc.edu/FAQ/FAQformat.html#format1

func NewRegion

func NewRegion(chrom utils.Symbol, start int32, end int32, fields []string) *Region

NewRegion allocates and initializes a new Region. Optional fields are given in order. If a "later" field is entered, then the "earlier" field was entered as well. See https://genome.ucsc.edu/FAQ/FAQformat.html#format1
