[BioC] get table with aanotaed genome features

[Joern Toedling]

Hi Andreia,

please have a look at section 2.8 of the girafe vignette. 

The resulting object from interval_overlap(A,B) is a list of the same length
as A with the i-th list element being the indices of B that overlap A[i].

Generating a character vector of overlapping RNA types can be done with
'sapply'. Assuming your annotation object is called 'B' and contains a vector
'type' specifying the type of RNA, and the overlap list is called 'Ov', the
syntax would be something like this:
ovTypes <- sapply( Ov, function(x) paste(B$type[x], collapse=","))

This vector 'ovTypes' is of the same length as the AlignedGenomeIntervals
object, say 'A', and for exporting a table, you could use the function
'write.table':
write.table(cbind(detail(A), type=ovTypes), ... < other arguments> ...)

HTH,
Joern
