extendGR(gr = NULL, upstream = NULL, downstream = NULL)

Arguments

gr

A GRanges object.

upstream

The number of basepairs upstream (5') to extend each region in gr in a strand-aware fashion.

downstream

The number of basepairs downstream (3') to extend each region in gr in a strand-aware fashion.
