## 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
