Would people be interested in having this: setMethod("as.character", "GenomicRanges", function(x) { paste0(seqnames(x), ":", start(x), "-", end(x)) })
? I find myself doing that a lot to make unique names or for output that goes to collaborators. I suppose we might want to tack on the strand if it isn't "*". I have some code for going the other direction too, if there is interest. Pete ____________________ Peter M.
