## Filter Features/Genes

### Description

This fucntion filters genes and other annotated features with respect to length, ovelaps and distance to other features.

### Usage

    filterGenes(gffAnno, distance_us=500, distance_ds=500, minLength=-Inf, maxLength=Inf)

### Arguments

`gffAnno` | a data frame containing the annotation
`distance_us` | how many basepairs upstream to the feature should not overlap with other features.
`distance_ds` | how many basepairs downstream to the feature should not overlap with other features.
`minLength` | minimal length of the feature
`maxLength` | maximal length of the feature

### Value

a character vector with the names of the features, that passed the filter.
