findLargeGaps(chromosome=NULL, x, minLength, resolution=1L, ...)

Arguments

chromosome

(Optional) An integer vector of length J of chromosome indices.

x

A numeric vector of J of genomic locations.

minLength

A positive numeric scalar specifying the minimum length of a gap.

resolution

A non-negative numeric specifying the minimum length unit, which by default equals one nucleotide/base pair.
