Details

This function reads in a gtf file and prints its features for the import step.

By default this function only imports the first 1000 rows, in case all rows should be imported set nrow=-1.

The number to skip in the beginning can be adjusted by the skip option. The default is here auto so that the function can identify the correct amount of header rows. Hence, this option should be changed only, if there is a good reason.

Value

A list of available features
