bsseq::data.frame2GRanges does the obvious step of converting a data.frame
to GRanges. It has a couple of bells and whistles where strand can be
ignored and additional columns (apart from genomic location) may be ignore
in the output object.
I (and now quite a few other people) use this function almost every day. I
have seen other implementations in other packages, suggesting this is not
just something I (we) use.
I suggests adding this function to GenomicRanges. I am happy to support it
going forward.
Using this function we could also add an as(x, "GRanges") method for
x=data.frame, but I still suggest keeping the basic function for the
extended functionality it provides.
Best,
