Genomic coordinate to chromosome arm

Returns chromosome arms for given chromosome and genomic position.

coord_to_arm(
  chromosome,
  position,
  assembly = "hg19",
  full = FALSE,
  mergesmallarms = FALSE
)

Arguments

chromosome

Character or numeric vector, with chromosome of genomic coordinate

position

Numeric vector, with genomic position within chromosome

assembly

a string specifying which genome assembly version should be applied to determine chromosome arms. Allowed options are "hg38", hg19", "hg18", "hg17" and "hg16" (corresponding to the five latest human genome annotations in the UCSC genome browser).

full

mergesmallarms

for very small acrocentric arms just use chromosome

Value

Character vector, with choromosome arm of given genomic coordinates
