[BioC] Methyl-Chip - Affymetrix promoter array

[Hervé Pagès]

Hi Adrian,

So you want us to tell whether you are doing the right thing by using
tools from others?  ;-)
The only thing I can suggest is that you try to intersect the genomic
regions by using our tools and compare the results (and the convenience)
with that of Galaxy. Rough steps to follow:
   (1) Install R + Bioconductor.
   (2) Install the rtracklayer package.
   (3) Import your bed files (with import.bed() or import.wig()) into
       UCSCData instances (x, y, etc...)
   (4) Load the IRanges package.
   (5) Extract the ranges from your UCSCData instances for chromosome
       'chrom' with something like 'ranges(x[chrom])'
   (6) Use the overlap() tool to intersect the ranges.

Cheers,
H.
