getGenePromoterRegion,FootprintFinder-method {trena} | R Documentation

## Get Gene Promoter Region

### Description

Using the `getChromLoc` function in conjunction with the gtf table inside the genome database specified by the FootprintFinder object, get the chromosome, starting location, and ending location for gene promoter region.

### Usage

    ## S4 method for signature 'FootprintFinder'
    getGenePromoterRegion(obj, gene,
      size.upstream = 1000, size.downstream = 0, biotype = "protein_coding",
      moleculetype = "gene")

### Arguments

`obj` | An object of class FootprintFinder
`gene` | A gene name of ID
`size.upstream` | An integer denoting the distance upstream of the target gene to look for footprints (default = 1000)
`size.downstream` | An integer denoting the distance downstream of the target gene to look for footprints (default = 0)
`biotype` | A type of biological unit (default="protein_coding")
`moleculetype` | A type of molecule (default="gene")

### Value

A list containing 3 elements: 1) chr : The name of the chromosome containing the promoter region for the specified gene 2) start : The starting location of the promoter region for the specified gene 3) end : The ending location of the promoter region for the specified gene
