Peak Set idx column #1307
-
Hello, I am a little confused on what the idx column in the peak set granges object signifies. I have 443973 total peaks but only 39424 unique idx values. Is idxATAC (1 to 443973) the index for the peaks in the total peak set? Thank you very much for your help! Best, |

related #368 idxATAC shows up in other analyses like peak2gene linkages. |

Turned out the
idx
is only unique within each chromosome, and this is clear if you look the code.I'm not sure about
idxATAC
for some reason I don't have that in my peakSet.
