Hi Oleksii,
That function is just a simplification of the negation of overlapsAny:
> getAnywhere("%outside%")
A single object matching '%outside%' was found
It was found in the following places
package:IRanges
namespace:IRanges
with value
function (query, subject)
!overlapsAny(query, subject)
<bytecode: 0x00000000120f7218>
<environment: namespace:IRanges>
And overlapsAny has dispatch on Granges objects via inheritance from the Vector
class.
> showMethods("overlapsAny")
Function: overlapsAny (package IRanges)
query="GRanges", subject="GRanges"
(inherited from: query="Vector", subject="Vector")
query="integer", subject="Vector"
query="IntegerRangesList", subject="IntegerRangesList"
query="Vector", subject="missing"
query="Vector", subject="Vector"
So far as I can tell there is no code in GenomicRanges to make this happen - it
just dispatches via inheritance - so there is no direct help page in
GenomicRanges.
Best,
Jim

Subject: [Bioc-devel] %outside% on GRanges
Dear Bioc team,
%outside% operator from IRanges works as one would expect even if GRanges
objects are supplied as operands:
> a <- as("chr1:100-200", "GRanges")
> b <- as("chr2:150-250", "GRanges")
> IRanges::`%outside%`(a, b)
[1] TRUE
> IRanges::`%outside%`(ranges(a), ranges(b))
[1] FALSE
It is correct and intuitive, but %outside% does not seem to be defined or
included in help pages of the GenomicRanges library. Can I rely on such
behaviour of %outside% in the future?
Best,
Oleksii Nikolaienko
