Hello,

I have two big GRanges objects and want to search for an overlap of  the first range of query with the first range of subject. Then take the second range of query and compare it with the second range of subject and so on. Here an example of my problem:

# GRanges objects
query <- GRanges(rep("chr1", 4), IRanges(c(1, 5, 9, 20), c(2, 6, 10, 22)), id=1:4) subject <- GRanges(rep("chr1",4), IRanges(c(3, 1, 1, 15), c(4, 2, 2, 21)), id=1:4)

# The 2 overlaps at the first position should not be counted, because these ranges are at different rows.
countOverlaps(query, subject)

# Approach 1 (bad style. I have simplified it to understand)
dat <- as.data.frame(findOverlaps(query, subject))
indexDat <- apply(dat, 1, function(x) x[1]==x[2])
indexBool <- dat[indexDat,1]
out <- rep(FALSE, length(query))
out[indexBool] <- TRUE
as.numeric(out)

# Approach 2 (bad style and takes too long)
out <- vector("numeric", 4)
for(i in seq_along(query)) out[i] <- (overlapsAny(query[i], subject[i]))
out

# Approach 3 (wrong results)
as.numeric(overlapsAny(query, subject))
as.numeric(overlapsAny(split(query, 1:4), split(subject, 1:4)))


Maybe someone has an idea to speed this up?


Best,

Tobias
