Get Chromosome Location

Using the gtf table in the genome database contained in a FootprintFinder object, get the locations of chromosomes with the specified gene name, biological unit type, and molecule type

# S4 method for FootprintFinder
getChromLoc(obj, name, biotype = "protein_coding", moleculetype = "gene")

Arguments

obj	An object of class FootprintFinder
name	A gene name or ID
biotype	A type of biological unit (default="protein_coding")
moleculetype	A type of molecule (default="gene")

Value

A dataframe containing the results of a database query pertaining to the specified name, biotype, and molecule type. This dataframe contains the following columns: gene_id, gene_name, chr, start, endpos, strand
