## Map middle positions of probes to annotated features

### Description

This function maps the middle positions of probes to annotated features. It is called by the getProfiles method, if method "middle" is chosen.

### Usage

    mapFeatures(probeAnno, gffAnno, upstream, downstream, chr)

### Arguments

`probeAnno` | a probeAnno object for the given ExpressionSet
`gffAnno` | a data frame containing the annotation of the features of interest
`upstream` | how many basepairs upstream of the feature start (feature start on the crick strand is end in gffAnno) should be taken.
`upstream` | how many basepairs downtream of the feature start (feature end on the crick strand is start in gffAnno) should be taken.
`chr` | character vector of chromosomes, from which the features should be taken.

### Value

a list with one entry for each feature, containing the mapping to probe indices in the assayData.
