## Permutation Test for two given peak lists

### Description

Performs a permutation test to seee if there is an association between two given peak lists.

### Usage

    peakPermTest(
      peaks1,
      peaks2,
      ntimes = 100,
      seed = as.integer(Sys.time()),
      mc.cores = getOption("mc.cores", 2L),
      maxgap = -1L,
      pool,
      TxDb,
      bindingDistribution,
      bindingType = c("TSS", "geneEnd"),
      featureType = c("transcript", "exon"),
      seqn = NA,
      ...
    )

### Arguments

`peaks1, peaks2` | an object of GRanges
`ntimes` | number of permutations
`seed` | random seed
`mc.cores` | The number of cores to use. see mclapply.
`maxgap` | See findOverlaps in the IRanges package for a description of these arguments.
`pool` | an object of permPool
`TxDb` | an object of TxDb
`bindingDistribution` | an object of bindist
`bindingType` | where the peaks should bind, TSS or geneEnd
`featureType` | what annotation type should be used for detecting the binding distribution.
`seqn` | default is NA, which means not filter the universe pool for sampling. Otherwise the universe pool will be filtered by the seqnames in seqn.
`...` | further arguments to be passed to numOverlaps.

### Value

A list of class permTestResults. See permTest

        }
