Helps to relate (e.g. intersect or by distance) sets of intervals.
For example, if the nearest gene to a set of ChIP-Seq peaks needs
to be reported, BEDTools does this extremely well, irelate is an
attempt to provide an API so that users can write their own tools
with little effort in go.
.
Performance irelate is quite fast, but use PIRelate for parallel
intersection. It is less flexible than irelate, but skips parsing of
database intervals for sparse regions in the query. In addition, it
has very good (automatic) parallelization.
