Hi Martin,

That's what I thought; i was just curious to learn more. Thanks for the details!

I should have think of it, as I put it after the session info, that most probably my second question will be invisible :-)

I paste it here again:


And is there an easy way to create a RangesList from an AlignedRead
object? I figured out how to do it, but I just want to be sure that I
didn't miss it. If it doesn't exist, I think it would be a valuable
addition and I could contribute the few lines of code.

Best wishes,

Hi all,

Well the question is quite easy :-) What does this slot holds? Because
it looks very different from the actual positions: i.e.

these are the 10 first ranges

sread(aln.clean[chromosome(aln.clean)=="2R"])@ranges[1:10]

It's internal to the way reads themselves are stored. sread(aln.clean)
returns a DNAStringSet object, the ranges slot of a DNAStringSet
points to offsets into a larger DNAString.  As you show later, you
want to use position(aln.clean) for alignment information.

This representation is meant to be entirely internal to the class. The
intention is that the user manipulate objects with defined functions
and methods (like position()). Of course the user can get at the
contents of slots with @, but there are no guarantees about what will
be there if the user does this!.
