uniqueRegions {regioneR} | R Documentation

## Unique Regions

### Description

Returns the regions unique to only one of the two region sets, that is, all parts of the genome covered by only one of the two region sets.

### Usage

    uniqueRegions(A, B)

### Arguments

`A` | a region set in any of the accepted formats by `toGRanges` (`GenomicRanges`, `data.frame`, etc...)
`B` | a region set in any of the accepted formats by `toGRanges` (`GenomicRanges`, `data.frame`, etc...)

### Value

It returns a `GenomicRanges` object with the regions unique to one of the region sets.

### Note

All metadata (additional columns in the region set in addition to chromosome, start and end) will be ignored and not present in the returned region set.

### See Also

### Examples

    A <- data.frame("chr1", c(1, 10, 20, 30), c(12, 13, 28, 40))

    B <- data.frame("chr1", 25, 35)

    uniques <- uniqueRegions(A, B)

    plotRegions(list(A, B, uniques), chromosome="chr1", regions.labels=c("A", "B", "uniques"), regions.colors=3:1)
