## Convert dataset to GRanges

### Description

Convert UCSC BED format and its variants, such as GFF, or any user defined dataset such as RangedDate or MACS output file to GRanges

### Usage

        ## S4 method for signature 'character'
    toGRanges(data, format=c("BED", "GFF", "GTF",
                                      "MACS", "MACS2", "MACS2.broad",
                                      "narrowPeak", "broadPeak",
                                      "others"),
                       header=FALSE, comment.char="#", colNames=NULL, ...)
        ## S4 method for signature 'connection'
    toGRanges(data, format=c("BED", "GFF", "GTF",
                                      "MACS", "MACS2", "MACS2.broad",
                                      "narrowPeak", "broadPeak",
                                      "others"),
                       header=FALSE, comment.char="#", colNames=NULL, ...)
        ## S4 method for signature 'data.frame'
    toGRanges(data, colNames=NULL, ...)
        ## S4 method for signature 'TxDb'
    toGRanges(data, feature=c("gene", "transcript", "exon",
                                       "CDS", "fiveUTR", "threeUTR",
                                       "microRNA", "tRNAs", "geneModel"),
                       OrganismDb, ...)
        ## S4 method for signature 'EnsDb'
    toGRanges(data,
                       feature=c("gene", "transcript", "exon", "disjointExons"),
                       ...)

### Arguments

`data` | an object of data.frame, TxDb or EnsDb, or the file name of data to be imported. Alternatively, data can be a readable txt-mode connection (See ?read.table).
`format` | data format. If the data format is set to BED, GFF, narrowPeak or broadPeak, please refer to http://genome.ucsc.edu/FAQ/FAQformat#format1 for column order. "MACS" is for converting the excel output file from MACS1. "MACS2" is for converting the output file from MACS2.
`feature` | annotation type
`header` | A logical value indicating whether the file contains the names of the variables as its first line. If missing, the value is determined from the file format: header is set to TRUE if and only if the first row contains one fewer field than the number of columns.
`comment.char` | character: a character vector of length one containing a single character or an empty string. Use "" to turn off the interpretation of comments altogether.
`colNames` | If the data format is set to "others", colname must be defined. And the colname must contain space, start and end. The column name for the chromosome # should be named as space.
`...` | parameters passed to read.table
`OrganismDb` | an object of OrganismDb. It is used for extracting gene symbol for geneModel group for TxDb

### Value

An object of GRanges
