[BioC] ProbeID: how to find which one is close to 3 prime end of DNA- help,

[Saurin D. Jani]

Thanks Steve and Kevin,

so, I got coordinates of probe sequence alignments then if strand is (+) then take largest "start" number and if strand is (-) then take smallest start number which gives me closest position of probes on 3 prime end.
