Hi,

I was wondering if there's a straightforward way of finding the ID of the CpG Island from a particular Shore/Shelf ID. Since the ID of the shore is different from that of its corresponding island. I figured the numbering is something like:

shores shore:1 and shore:2, belong to island:1, and for example shores shore:13 and shore:14, belong to island:7...and so on

So maybe island.id <- shore.id - floorshore.id/2?

I think this stops working at some point. Anyway, is there an easier way of getting the island IDs from the shore IDs?

Thanks,

Stephany

Hi Stephany,

Thanks for this suggestion. I think this is a good idea, but I'll need to spend some time thinking about how to do this because there are cases (I'm fairly sure) where islands may be close to each other and so they could potentially share a shore or shelf.

Nevertheless, I'll put this in my to do list for the Bioconductor 3.9 release.
