Hi Johannes,
We can make transcriptLengths() a generic but isn't the situation
similar to the extractTranscriptSeqs() situation that you brought
in January (https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/bioc-devel/2016-January/008570.html) for which adding the ellipsis to the argument list of the
function and proper forwarding of the extra arguments did the trick?
In the case of transcriptLengths() the extra arguments would be
forwarded to the internal calls to transcripts(), exonsBy(), cdsBy(),
fiveUTRsByTranscript(), and threeUTRsByTranscript(), and so
transcriptLengths() would work out-of-the-box on EnsDb objects.
Would that work?

Dear all,
I was wondering, you think it would be possible to make the transcriptLength function in GenomicFeatures a method and export that? Reason is that I have also implemented a transcriptLength function (actually presently a method in order to allow that to be used for EnsDb and TxDb objects), but this causes the warning
The following object is masked from 'package:GenomicFeatures':
transcriptLengths
on package loading.
Just in case, that?s the code from my package:
if(!isGeneric("transcriptLengths"))
setGeneric("transcriptLengths", function(x, with.cds_len=FALSE,
with.utr5_len=FALSE,
with.utr3_len=FALSE, ...)
standardGeneric("transcriptLengths?))
setMethod("transcriptLengths", "EnsDb", function(x, with.cds_len=FALSE, with.utr5_len=FALSE,
with.utr3_len=FALSE, filter=list()){
return(.transcriptLengths(x, with.cds_len=with.cds_len, with.utr5_len=with.utr3_len,
with.utr3_len=with.utr3_len, filter=filter))
})
cheers, jo
