Hello Biostars Community,
I feel like I am missing something fundamental here.
For GenomicFeatures
Why isn't there a function like intronsBy()
to extract introns by gene rather than transcript (ie intronsByTranscript()
), the same way there is a function like exonsBy
to extract exons by gene.
In other words, in the GenomicFeatures
documentation there is:
## Get the exons grouped by gene:
exonsBy(txdb, "gene")
However, for introns there is:
## Get the introns grouped by transcript:
intronsByTranscript(txdb)
while there is not a function like this:
## Get the introns grouped by gene:
intronsBy(txdb, "gene")
Could someone share their insights, please, to sort of solidify my understanding? There has to be some method to this madness!
Thank you in advance.
