## Function to create a GenomiAnnotations object from a dataframe

### Description

Function to create a GenomiAnnotations object from a dataframe

### Usage

    GenomicAnnotationsFromdataframe(GenomicAnnotations_dataframe, ids_column, chr_column,
    start_column, end_column, strand_column, chromosomesNumbers =
    NULL, chromosomesLabels = NULL, chromosomesLabelsInput = NULL,
    MinusStrandString = "-", PlusStrandString =
    "+", optionalAnnotationsColumns = NULL)

### Arguments

`GenomicAnnotations_dataframe` | Dataframe object contanining genomic annotations.
`ids_column` | Specify the column from the input txt file with gene (or other genomic features) ids. Can be specified using column index (numeric) or column name (character).
`chr_column` | Specify the column from the input txt file with chromosome annotations fields for each ids. Can be specified using column index (numeric) or column name (character).
`start_column` | Specify the column from the input txt file with genomic start position for each genomic element. Can be specified using column index (numeric) or column name (character).
`end_column` | Specify the column from the input txt file with genomic end position for each genomic element. Can be specified using column index (numeric) or column name (character).
`strand_column` | Specify the column from the input txt file with genomic strand mapping for each genomic element. Can be specified using column index (numeric) or column name (character).
`chromosomesNumbers` | Numeric vector to specify the list of numeric values to be associated to each chromosome (especially useful for chromosomes not associated to a number such as chr X or Y)
`chromosomesLabels` | Character vector to specify the list of character labels to be associated to each chromosome (especially useful for chromosomes not associated to a number such as chr X or Y)
`chromosomesLabelsInput` | Character vector to specify the list of character labels associated to each chromosome in the input file. Particularly useful when non numeric character strings are associated to eacforh chromosome in the input file: e.g. "chr3" for chromosome "3".
`MinusStrandString` | Character string used to identify minus strand in the input text file
`PlusStrandString` | Character string used to identify plus strand in the input text file
`optionalAnnotationsColumns` | Character vector of columns headers or numeric vector of columns indices to specify columns of the input file containing additional annotation fields
