Usage

Arguments

file

A dataframe with the data and grouping factor

x

The grouping factor to be compared

y

Value

A list with three matrices: 1) A matrix with the number of overlapping data; 2) A matrix with the percentage of overlapping; 3) A matrix with the combination of the two previous one

Examples

data(QTLmarkers)
data(gtfGenes)
genes.out <- find_genes_qtls_around_markers(db_file=gtfGenes,
marker_file=QTLmarkers,method="gene",
marker="snp",interval=100000, nThreads=1)
overlapping.out<-overlapping_among_groups(
file=genes.out,x="Reference",y="gene_id")
