list genes w/n a genomic fragment

3 messages · runner, Bert Gunter, Martin Morgan

Hi, is there any package/function in Bioconductor that can do this: if given
the chromosome positions of a fragment, find out all genes within, and with
the information about which strand is the sense strand.  And vice versa.
Thanks a lot.

Appreciate your time & attention!

So Mr.Anoymous, why don't you inquire on the Bioconductor list to find out
instead of here?

Hi runner...

As Bert says, this should be directed to the Bioconductor mailing
list. Let's have any follow-up conversation there. But...
Organism-centric packages contain information about chromosome
locations of ENTREZ gene IDs, so...
+             Chromosome == 1 &
+             abs(start_location) > 10^7 &
+             abs(start_location) < 2*10^7)
gene_id start_location Chromosome
1426    14048      -14159038          1
1709    14545       17135477          1
2745    17087       16678536          1
2961    17681      -14743428          1
3106    17978      -13129239          1
4066    19989      -16091378          1
...

the '-' indicates strand.
easy to look up the chromosome locations of an ENTREZ id, if that's
what you mean...
$`20671`
       1 
-4481008

or
gene_id start_location Chromosome
4445   20671       -4481008          1
