Sort exons by rank

Description

WARNING: Starting with BioC 3.0, sortExonsByRank is defunct with no replacement.

sortExonsByRank orders (or reorders) by rank the exons stored in a GRangesList object containing exons grouped by transcript.

Usage

# DEFUNCT. No replacement.
sortExonsByRank(x, decreasing.rank.on.minus.strand=FALSE)

Arguments

x

A GRangesList object, typically coming from exonsBy(... , by="tx").

decreasing.rank.on.minus.strand

TRUE or FALSE. Describes the order of exons in transcripts located on the minus strand: are they ordered by increasing (default) or decreasing rank? For all the functions described in this man page (except sortExonsByRank), this argument describes the input. For sortExonsByRank, it describes how exons should be ordered in the output.

Value

A GRangesList object with one top-level element per transcript. More precisely, the returned object has the same "shape" (i.e. same length and same number of elements per top-level element) as the input GRangesList object x.
