distances betweeen my SNV and nearest exon

Question

[syrup16g_TO]

Hello everyone.

I want to calculate the distances between detected intronic SNVs and nearest exons ( upstream/downstream ).

However, I can do it only with very computationally-costful way.

Does anyone know more simple way?

Any helps will be appretiated. Thank you.

You could do this with GenomicRanges in R by using the distanceToNearest() function, which will result in the values for all of the SNPs at once.

Excellent! Thank you very much!

I got the way to measure the distance.
