For each row of signal, I'd like to find what the nearest n genes are and their corresponding distances.

I've explored distanceToNearest(signal, genes, select = "all") which returns:

  queryLength: 295644 / subjectLength: 18436

But I'd like to expand this to several genes, not just the closest.

Any help would be much appreciated!

Great -- I'll have a look and see if I can get this to work. I will report back!

Hmm any ideas on this error?

>GenomicRanges:::findKNN(signal, genes, k = 2) # get the 2 nearest genes for every location in signal

Error in pc(extractList(start(starts), pwindows) - end(query), end(query) -  : 
  all the objects to combine must have the same length

If I swap genes and signal, it returns:

> GenomicRanges:::findKNN(genes, signal, k = 2)
IntegerList of length 18436
[[1]] integer(0)
[[2]] integer(0)
[[3]] integer(0)

[[8]] integer(0)

[[10]] integer(0)
...

The function seems to break at this line within GenomicRanges:::findKNN():

dist <- pc(extractList(start(starts), pwindows) - end(query), end(query) - extractList(end(ends), fwindows)) # ERRORS OUT

any help would be much appreciated!
