findJunctionPairs {GeneStructureTools} | R Documentation

## Find alternative junctions for Whippet alternative splicing events

### Description

Find junctions that pair with each end of an AA (alt. acceptor) or AD (alt. donor) whippet range Find junctions that pair with the upsteam/downstream exon of an AF (alt. first exon) or an AL (alt. last exon)

### Usage

    findJunctionPairs(whippetDataSet, jncCoords, type = NA)

### Arguments

`whippetDataSet` | whippetDataSet generated from `readWhippetDataSet()`
`jncCoords` | GRanges object with Whippet junctions. Generated by readWhippetJNCfiles()
`type` | type of Whippet event (AA/AD/AF/AL). Note only one event type should be processed at a time.

### Value

GRanges object with alternative junctions. Each event should have a set of X (for which the psi measurement is reported) junctions, and alternative Y junctions.
