Genome files (UCSC "chromSize" files) contain chromosome name and size information. These sizes are used by downstream functions to identify computed intervals that have coordinates outside of the genome bounds.
read_genome(path)
path | containing chrom/contig names and sizes, one-pair-per-line, tab-delimited |
---|
tbl_genome()
, sorted by size
URLs to genome files can also be used.
