bandinfo-class {iGenomicViewer} | R Documentation |
The bandinfo object contains useful data.frames of starting and ending genomic locations for chromosomes, arms, broad.bands, and fine.bands. Each data.frame has five columns: the region (chrom, arm), label, lower, center, and upper. lower, center, and upper refer to genomic locations. label is the label that will be used for the region when plotting. The bandinfo object will also contain an offset object. This is a numeric vector of length equal to the number of chromsomes. It contains the numeric buffer that should be added to genomic locations given within chromosome to get the location with respect to the entire genome.
